Barbadians urged to take fire safety seriously

A local fire officer is pouring cold water on suggestions some grassfires are a result of spontaneous combustion. Chief Admin Officer of the Bajan Fire Fighters Network, Glyne Alleyne, has been a firefighter for close to three decades. He wants Barbadians to take fire safety more seriously, expressing concern the country experiences over a thousand grass fires each year. Mr. Alleyne was addressing a meeting of the Barbados Labour Party's City of Bridgetown branch. With the Yuletide season fast approaching, he's cautioning homeowners about external Christmas lights.
