China has donated 10 tenders and 400 suits for fire officers to Guyana. The handing over ceremony took place on Thursday at the Ministry of Home Affairs, Brickdam. The vehicles and protective gear were handed over following the signing of the acceptance certificate.
According to Minister Clement Rohee, the gesture is another concerted manifestation of the friendly relations between the People’s Republic of China and the Republic of Guyana.
Rohee pointed out that in his Budget 2013 debate presentation he had made it known that the Guyana Fire Service (GFS) would be renamed the Guyana Fire and Rescue Service and would go through certain transformative periods in order to ensure that the service becomes modernised.
He said the GFS has come a far way with 16 stations around the country, up from seven. The country boasts 36 tenders now, he said.
The additional fire tenders will see an exponential growth in the capacity of the Fire Service to provide an effective and efficient service to the residents not only in Georgetown, but in the other regions as well, the Minister said.
Minister Rohee urged officials of the GFS to take special care of the vehicles to ensure that they are well serviced and protected and that they are used for the benefit of the people.
Chinese Ambassador to Guyana, Zhang Limin, noted that his country has long and fruitful relations with Guyana.
