-40 rapid intervention vehicles handed over
Forty Rapid Intervention Vehicles (RIVs) from Angloco – a fire-fighting & rescue vehicle manufacturer out of the United Kingdom – were yesterday handed over to the Guyana Fire Service (GFS) and at least one would be given to each Regional Democratic Council (RDC).
This along with a 10-point approach and strategic plan for the GFS, unveiled by President Irfaan Ali yesterday is expected to catapult Guyana to having one of the best fire response and fighting systems in the region.
“I want to assure all of Guyana that perhaps now we have the most modern firefighting fleet in the entire region. So that is just one component of the equation,” Ali yesterday said during his address at the commissioning of the new fire service headquarters on Homestretch Avenue where the 40 RIVs were also handed over.
