The Fire Department is calling on the community to be very conscious of not throwing out
lighted cigarettes or matches that could result in bush fires in fire
prone areas due to current dry weather conditions.
Persons, who would like to burn bush or garbage in a built-up area,
or on a hillside for agricultural activities, are requested to refrain
from doing so, and contact the Fire Department for advice.
Those seeking information can contact the Fire Department at 542-
1215, 542-1217, 542-6001 or in case of an emergency 919.
The inappropriate use of fire can endanger lives, property, and the
environment in these dry weather conditions that the country is
currently experiencing.
Fires can get out of control by spreading rapidly due to high winds
quickly threatening lives and property.
A person can help by reducing bush fire hazards by acting
responsibly and following the aforementioned advice from the
national Fire Department.
The Fire Department falls under the Ministry of General Affairs.
