Minister of Home Affairs Robeson Benn yesterday said that he is “fairly” happy with the Guyana Fire Service’s (GFS) performance last year but he cited challenges such as being prepared for fires in the oil and gas sector.

“We are fairly happy with the service over the past year. We have noted a re-energising of the Guy-ana Fire Service with the new leadership,” Benn said. He was at the time speaking at the opening ceremony of the GFS Senior Officer’s Conferen-ce.

The two-day conference is being held under the theme “Strengthening our capabilities through training and the use of technology for a safer Guyana”.
