Hong Kong Fire Safety Guides

You may be a homeowner, shop owner, office tenant, HR professional, contractor or member of a building's property management team. Fire Station's Hong Kong fire safety knowledge centre brings together our existing 19 topic guides. Starting with A Complete Guide to Fire Extinguishers in Hong Kong, they cover purchasing, capacity, home fire prevention, commercial premises, short-term rental, annual inspections, FS251 certificates, recycling, emergency lighting, fire safety regulations and upgrade examples. You do not need to read everything at once: use the guides below to find advice for your role, premises and questions.

Let's start with the three most important fire fighting facts in Hong Kong.

  • Recognition: Section 3 of Chapter 95B provides that hand-held fire extinguishers and blankets may be supplied or sold in Hong Kong after approval by the Fire Services Department.
  • Annual inspections: Fire protection equipment for commercial premises, restaurants, offices, and common parts of the same building are inspected by registered contractors every 12 months, and water pressure tests are carried out every 5 years, 14 days; household voluntary handheld equipment has been exempted from statutory annual inspections since 2024.
  • Security: Hand-held fire extinguishers handle only initial fire. Fire is high, smoke is high, evacuation is immediate, doors are closed, stairs are taken, and 999 are hit.
