The Commission of Inquiry (CoI) in its report on the Mahdia dorm fire which claimed 20 lives, lauded the diligence and dedication demonstrated by GFS Sub-Officer Ryan Scott when attending to the inferno on May 21st, 2023.
In the report handed over to President Irfaan Ali on Friday by Chairperson of the Inquiry Major General (Retired) Joseph Singh, the commission said that in the face of very limited resources from the Guyana Fire Service, Officer Scott who was in charge of the Mahdia Fire Station, took the initiative and exemplified bravery in all dealings regarding his response to the fire.
“We consider these traits to be fitting for emulation by all members of the Guyana Fire Service. The Guyana Fire Service would certainly benefit from Mr. Scott serving in a higher leadership capacity in the Service”, the commission stated.
