凡任何處所已發生火警，或有理由推測有人已企圖或即將企圖對任何 處所或其任何部分縱火，則警務處處長可在他認為適當的情況下，接管該 處所及任何被推測為火警起源的其他處所，如他認為有需要，亦可禁止業 主及所有其他人進內；而處長須對該處所作出全面而詳細的視察，或令 有關警區的主管警務人員或有關分區的主管警司所指派的警務人員作出該 項視察，並須隨即向裁判官提交一份有關該處所的狀況及其內各物(如有 的話)狀況的詳盡書面報告，以及提供他所能獲得的關於火警起源以及有 關情況的一切資料。
" Whenever a fire has taken place on any premises, or there is reason to suppose that an attempt has been or is about to be made to set fire to any premises or part thereof, the Commissioner of Police may, if he thinks fit, take possession of such premises and of any other premises where the fire is supposed to have originated, to the exclusion, if he deems it necessary, of the owners and all others; and he shall make or cause to be made, by the police officer in charge of the district or by such police officer as shall be deputed by the superintendent in charge of the division, a full and minute inspection of such premises, and shall forthwith make a written report in detail to a magistrate of the state of the said premises and of contents, if any, thereof, furnishing also all such information touching the origin and circumstances of the fire as he may be able to obtain."
裁判官收到上述報告後，除非在考慮報告內所述各項事實後認為無需 就火警起因進行研訊，否則須對火警的起因展開調查，並須在切實可行範 圍內在盡量少延誤的情況下，向所有相當可能知道有關事實及情況的人， 以及向裁判官認為能夠提供有關資料的所有其他人，錄取經宣誓而作的口 供。
" On the receipt of such report, the magistrate, unless, on consideration of the facts stated therein, he is of opinion that such inquiry is unnecessary, shall proceed to investigate the causes of the fire, and shall, with as little delay as practicable, take the depositions upon oath of all persons likely to know the facts and circumstances and of all other persons who, in his opinion, may be able to furnish information in respect thereof."
在上述調查中，任何職級不低於督察的警務人員或有關警區的主管警 務人員或有關分區的主管警司所指派的警務人員以及任何有利害關係的人 在得到裁判官批准後，可親自或經由其大律師或律師訊問證人，以及安排 能夠提供關於上述火警或企圖縱火事件的資料的人接受訊問。
At such investigation any police officer not below the rank of inspector or the police officer in charge of the district or such police officer as shall be deputed by the superintendent in charge of the division and any interested person may by leave of the magistrate and either personally or by his counsel or solicitor examine the witnesses and cause to be examined such persons as may be able to give information touching the fire or the attempt as aforesaid.
如裁判官認為調查所得並無披露任何罪行，或雖披露罪行但沒有顯示 有任何合理因由懷疑任何人犯該罪行，則裁判官須結束該研訊。
" If, in the opinion of the magistrate, the investigation does not disclose any offence or, although it discloses an offence, does not show any reasonable cause for suspecting any person of having committed such offence, the magistrate shall close the inquiry."
裁判官如認為火警是因刑事罪行而造成，並有合理因由懷疑而他又確 實懷疑有人曾經犯罪，則有權將該人交付監獄，以待該人就任何被控告的 罪名答辯，或規定該人提供令裁判官感到滿意的保證，以保證該人會出庭 和自動回來就上述罪名答辯，而在該項控罪方面，裁判官可如在其他案件 中一樣錄取證據。
" If, in the opinion of the magistrate, the fire is the result of crime, and there is reasonable cause to suspect and he does suspect any person of having committed an offence against the law, he shall have power to commit such person to prison to answer any charge that may be brought against him or to require him to give security, to his satisfaction, to appear and surrender to answer any such charge, and, on such charge, the magistrate may take the evidence as in other cases."
裁判官可隨時命令將警務處處長根據第2條接管的任何處所發還。
" The magistrate may, at any time, if any premises have been taken into the possession of the Commissioner of Police under section 2, order the release of the premises."
根據本條例結束研訊或發還遭接管的處所，並不影響就任何人的罪行 而對其進行的任何法律程序。
The closure of an inquiry or the release of premises under this Ordinance shall be without prejudice to any proceedings against any person for an offence against the law.
為施行本條例，並在根據本條例進行的所有調查方面，以及為傳召證 人並處理與上述調查有關的一切法律程序，裁判官具有處理可公訴罪行的 裁判官所具有的一切權力，而警務處處長須向該裁判官提供一切適當及需 要的協助。
" For the purposes of this Ordinance, and in relation to all investigations held thereunder, and for the summoning of witnesses, and for all proceedings in connection with such investigations, the magistrate shall have all the powers possessed by a magistrate in relation to cases of indictable offences, and the Commissioner of Police shall render him all proper and necessary assistance."
除非根據裁判官的命令行事，(而裁判官在有人提出好的因由後可發出 此項命令，)否則任何人將任何財產移離警方根據本條例接管的處所或企 圖將財產如此移離，一經循簡易程序定罪，可處罰款$500或監禁6個月。
" Except on an order from the magistrate, who may, on good cause shown, give such order, any person who removes or attempts to remove any property from premises in possession of the police under this Ordinance shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine of $500, or to imprisonment for 6 months."
本條例的條文適用於船、艇或用於航行的任何其他類型船隻(超逾300 噸的船隻除外)，一如該等條文適用於處所一樣。
" The provisions of this Ordinance shall apply to a ship or boat or any other description of vessel used in navigation, not being a vessel exceeding 300 tons, in the same manner as such provisions apply to premises."
