Up to press time, the GFS was battling a large wildfire at Rome on the East Bank of Demerara that has consumed two 30-acre lots and is posing a threat to lives in the area.
In a statement last night, the Guyana Fire Service (GFS) said that the raging wildfire is leaving a trail of destruction and posing an imminent threat to lives and the environment.
It said that water tenders and a bowser from the Central, West Ruimveldt, and Eccles fire stations initially responded to a report of a wildfire in the area at 8:56 am yesterday.
