A new $37m fire station was yesterday commissioned at Eccles, East Bank Demerara (EBD) and Minister of Home Affairs, Robeson Benn reminded fire-fighters that they must always be “ready, responsible, capable and engaged” as the responsiveness to fires has always been an issue which they should not fail at.
“The ability in responding relates not only to getting a new building like this…but it relates to the engagement, the alacrity, the responsiveness of those who are trained fire-fighters and this has to always be a question, this has been an issue which we must not fail at. We must exemplify our training and identify our engagement of this noble profession. We have to be ready, responsible, capable and engaged always,” Benn said while delivering the feature address at a ceremony which was held to commission the fire station.
