High Angle Rescue Team The High Angle Rescue Team will be formed in mid 2011. The team will consist of

66 members who are recruited from the Special Rescue Squad. All the members would have undergone a five-week advanced training to perform rescues involving the use of ropes and specialised equipment for various high angle rescue operations. The main duty of the team is to carry out rescue operations at high angle locations such as cable cars, tower cranes, bridge towers, scaffoldings at construction sites and suspended working platforms of high rise buildings. HazMat Team The rapid industrial growth and on-going scientific development have increased the use of hazardous materials (HazMat). There is a need for the Department to develop a HazMat Task Force to provide a high quality and comprehensive emergency service. The task force will include four HazMat Teams, comprising

182 frontline fire personnel, to respond to HazMat emergencies. The team members had been extensively trained and acquired relevant skills in handling HazMat incidents. In addition,

15 officers had been certified as HazMat specialists after receiving advanced training in the Illinois Fire Service Institute in the USA. The HazMat Teams are expected to be put into operation in 2011. Fire Services Academy To cater for challenges from the ever-changing world, the Department is actively planning for the redevelopment of the existing Fire Services Training School into a Fire Services Academy of international standards.
