New Fire Service HQ to be completed ahead of schedule – Fire Chief

Gregory Wickham

The new Guyana Fire Service (GFS) Head-quarters along Home-stretch Avenue will be completed ahead of schedule during the early part of next year, according to Fire Chief (ag) Gregory Wickham.

Providing an update on Tuesday, WicKham said to date seventy per cent of the construction of the building has been completed and works are expected to conclude in February next year.

A decision has not yet been taken as to what will happen to the building which currently houses the GFS’ headquarters in the congested Stabroek Market Square. The heavy traffic in the area often negatively affects the fire service’s response time.
