utterly shameful. which Minister responsible for them again? d same one that failing us with crime? is best u have about 10 fire extinguisher in your house

“Their response was poor. They (fire officers) had no ladders, no torch or headlights. They had nothing.

"In less than ten minutes they had no water. They had to wait for another fire truck, which came long after.”

The association leader only now have mouth.

A deputy political leader for the PEP has been getting inside info on ttfs, and bussing their files since last year.
And. Have been repeatedly denounced, that the service is up to par snd handling it.

Is only now that their mismanagement is resulting in continued deaths that are blatantly and obviously attributed to their mismanagement that they see necessary to push the association head to speak out.

Imagine, years. The skylift in town isnt working and they have the mist need for equipment to tsckle high rise fires.

The skylift fekm Sando was sent to do fhe independence dsy parade.

It really doesn’t matter whether the equipment working or not….always excuses and incompetency.

Blame the culture.

They always come with that breathing apparatus excuse
Always saying they breaking down, need oring and all kind of nonsense.

Fireman scba air system not much different to a scuba diving setup except they use carbon fiber tanks at higher fill pressure. How come all them scuba divers in the country don’t have such problems?
How come all the air gun fellas who use the same carbon tanks to fill their guns don’t have issues?

Actually, is more of a "pull een who yuh knoe, family ting" in selection of officers. I did apply in 2018 somewhere and passed the aptitude (physical) exam, after waiting till last 10 ppl, was told to reapply in 2020.

Nail on head.

The fire chief right now, was the brigade engineer or sumtung. Meaning, he was in charge of maintenance... So it beats me how so much stuff is in disrepair
