Exhibition to focus on the environmental aspect of fires-Official

Oct 11, 2019 News

The Guyana Fire Service will today be hosting a fair and exhibition in observance of Fire Prevention Week at D’Urban Park with a huge focus on the environmental aspects of fires.
During an interview an official said that “most persons just focus on the damage fires do to the environment. This exhibition and fair being the first of its kind under the theme, “Save Lives, Protect Property and Strive Towards A Greener Environment”, we are hoping to bring awareness on the environmental aspect.
“We are trying to drift the public’s perception that fires are just focused in homes and businesses.”
He explained that sometimes fires are lit and there is damage to vegetation and animals. While some persons may see this as insignificant, it can have dire effects.
In addition, civilians are constantly calling with complaints of persons lighting grass and garbage as a way of disposal.
“Taking part in the exhibition are ranks from Central, Alberttown, Campbellville and Berbice Fire Stations,” he noted. Since this is the first one, it is also like a training ground in relation to interaction with the public, as they are looking to make it an annual event.
Today’s event is expected to see a Live Controlled Fire Exercise, A Five-A-Side Football Competition, Late for Fire Exercise, Fire Men Lift Race and a lot of other informational activities.
The institution is hoping that after this exercise persons would have a little more consideration when lighting fires and be observant of the elements present.
