The Guyana Fire Service (GFS) is seeking to educate the public about firefighting procedures and to inform that fire engines do not show up to a fire without water which is an oft-repeated statement especially by fire victims.
To this end, GFS Operations Department conducted a special demonstration of a fire truck to show what actually occurs at a fire scene, a release yesterday from the GFS stated.
At the demonstration, Divisional Officer Operations, Clive McDonald, explained the process while firefighters got into action to reenact what would normally take place when responding to fires across the country. The exercise, the release noted, aimed to dispel a common misperception among the public, that fire trucks arrive at fire scenes without water in their tanks.
