​In response to and support of National Security Education Day today (April 15), the Fire Services Department (FSD) held an open day at the Fire and Ambulance Services Academy in Tseung Kwan O, taking the opportunity to deepen the public's understanding of the Constitution, the Basic Law and the Hong Kong National Security Law, as well as the FSD's work on national security, public safety, public order and personnel training.

     At the open day, exhibition boards and game booths on national security were set up to enhance public understanding of the importance of national security through interactive engagement. The flag-raising ceremony was also held with the FSD's Guard of Honour performing the Chinese-style foot drill. Moreover, simulation training facilities, the simulated Pak Shing Kok railway station and the Fire and Ambulance Services Education Centre cum Museum were open to the public. Members of the public were able to obtain information on the department's recruitment exercise and experience the physical fitness test for recruitment during their visit.

     The FSD has always fully supported the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government in implementing the Law of the People's Republic of China on Safeguarding National Security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. The department will resolutely continue to support and co-operate with various departments in the work of safeguarding national security so that the safety of Hong Kong citizens can be better protected.
