National Fire Service Working Overtime

The National Fire Service is also alerting the public that in order to help with the fights against these wildfires in Western Belize, their equipment and staff have been put under significant strain.

A press release from the Fire Department says that they have been in constant motion as they try to address as many bush fires as possible. They have kept their trucks constantly in the field, going from one fire to the next. They have had to leave firefighters in one location to use what they call "fire beaters" for smaller fires. That then frees up others to take the trucks to larger fires where the water is needed.

They reiterate their readiness to tackle these wildfires, and they are also thanking the public for continuous support to get the job done.
