The Guyana Fire Service (GFS), the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) and the Regional Democratic Council (RDC) of Region 5 have completely extinguished fires that were burning in the Bushlot and Woodley Park areas this week.
Arid weather has sparked fires in various parts of the country.
According to the Department of Public Information (DPI), the flames were destroying mangroves along the Western Coast of Berbice and adjacent grass fields. The GFS confirmed that the mangrove fires started on February 26, 2024 and were entirely doused by March 4, 2024. DPI said that the Woodley Park blaze was extinguished primarily due to the proactive and quick approach of the RDC and GuySuCo.
