The current dry spell that the nation is experiencing is resulting in wildfires in Region Nine, with the Civil Defence Commission (CDC), in conjunction with the Guyana Fire Service (GFS); Environmental Protection Agency (EPA); Protected Areas Commission (PAC); and Regional Authorities, working to quell these fires in sections of the region, a CDC release reported on Tuesday.
The release disclosed that some two weeks ago, the Prime Minister had instructed CDC to coordinate a response mission to aid impacted villages as they combat the blazes. This mission, it explained, is a collaborative effort which includes the support of several government agencies.
