Currently the closest fire stations supporting the Mahaicony area come from Mahaica and Onverwagt, West Coast Berbice (WCB).

The government announced that this year it intends to build a number of new fire stations across various areas in the country. Senior Minister in the Office of the President with responsibility for Finance, Dr. Ashni Singh during the presentation of the 2024 National Budget said the government has always been committed to improving the capacity of the Guyana Fire Service (GFS) to discharge its important mandate.

More recent times have, however, reiterated how important it is for GFS to be in a state of constant readiness to respond to any threat of loss of property or endangerment of person, he added.
