Emergency services back down on secrecy

The Fire Services Department has bowed to pressure to revise its media relations rules and give more information to journalists.

The department had previously stuck to its policy of not providing details of any ambulance-service incidents in which fewer than eight people were injured, but it backed down after it came under fire for not reporting a crash involving one of its own ambulances and a motorcycle in Sha Tin for 11 hours. Police reported the accident to the media one hour and 20 minutes after it happened.
