Fire Update|| The Guyana Fire Service had responded to an early morning house on fire at Lot 39 Lochador, West Canje, Berbice.
At the arrival at the scene the one-flat wooden structure was fully engulfed in flames. With quick response from firefighters the fire was extinguished.
However, the building and its contents were completely destroyed.
Investigations are ongoing as it relates to the cause of the fire.
|| Over the years, the Guyana Fire Service has encountered ongoing challenges with motorists and pedestrians failing to yield to emergency vehicles responding to fire calls.
Delays caused by drivers not adhering to the warning sirens can significantly impact response times, placing lives, property, and firefighters at greater risk. Every second counts during an emergency, and giving way to a responding fire appliance can make the difference between containing a fire and a devastating loss.
The Guyana Fire Service continues to foster stronger partnerships with community stakeholders while building resilience and improving public safety across the country.
Community Policing Groups throughout Guyana will benefit from initiatives such as these in the coming months.

As part of its ongoing commitment to strengthening community preparedness, the Guyana Fire Service conducted a fire safety training programme for members of Community Policing Groups (CPGs) from Good Hope to Mahaica, East Coast Demerara, on Sunday, August 2, 2026.
The training was facilitated by ranks from the Melanie Fire Station and was attended by 19 participants. The focus of this training is for the CPG groups to enhance their capacity to respond to fire-related emergencies within their communities.
One of the objectives of the programme was to equip Community Policing Group members with the basic knowledge and practical skills required to support fire prevention initiatives, assist during emergency situations, and promote fire safety awareness among residents.
