Only 33% of fire hydrants are fully functional, Minister of Home Affairs Robeson Benn has revealed.

Benn made the disclosure in a written response to questions from opposition Member of Parliament Geeta Chandan-Edmond.

Chandan-Edmond, who is the Shadow Minister of Home Affairs, questioned the minister on the functionality of the hydrants subsequent to the October 3 2021 fire which reduced the Brickdam Police Station to ashes.
