Salute to Hong Kong Firemen

March 8, 2010

in Hong Kong News, Hong Kong Police Force

Hong Kong : 8 March, 2010 – One fireman has been killed and three others two seriously injured while fighting a factory blaze in Cheung Sha Wan. The body of senior fireman Yeung Chun-kit (楊俊傑), 47, was found trapped underneath fallen goods and furniture. Firemen using turntable ladders and breathing apparatus took six hours to put out the fifth floor blaze, which began shortly after 8 am.

It’s so sad to lost one more fireman…. God bless Yeung Chun-kit’s soul. And condolences to his family. Men like him make a dangerous world safer for all of us.

Again, RIP, God Bless and thanks for your service.
