Fire Service: Public More Harmful Than Helpful

The Barbados Fire Service values the public's assistance in fighting fires but that help must come under the guidance of its officers.

Divisional Officer Randolph Cox said civilians were not allowed to take up and use any of the service's equipment.

"I can understand people's enthusiasm and that they want to assist but they have to do so under the guidance of the fire service," he said.

Cox was speaking to the Press last Friday at the scene of a fire in Mason Hall Street, The City, where one… Continue

When male and female firefighters engage in sex on duty, cl… Continue
