Minister of Home Affairs Robeson Benn has stated his intention to address the various challenges faced by the Guyana Fire Service in the wake of the Sheriff Street conflagration on Wednesday afternoon which destroyed three commercial properties.

Benn made this disclosure while speaking to the media at the scene of the fire on Sheriff Street on Wednesday afternoon.

 “I am concerned about the lack of energy in their operation. Of course, some are saying they are tired. I am also concerned about their training or the intervention aspects which I am seeing on the ground,” Benn said.
