Registered Fire Engineer Scheme
Following the enactment of the Fire Services (Amendment) Ordinance 2017 in March, the Registered Fire Engineer (RFE) Scheme enters its implementation stage, during which the detailed requirements of the qualifications in and experience with RFE, as well as the composition of the registration committee, shall be finalised for the regulations. In relation to the LC Paper for the Legislative Council Panel on Security meeting on 4 July, the BSD tabled suggestions on the eligibility criteria for RFE on 10 August. The key considerations are RPS status and a reduction in the number of years of relevant working experience.
