Additionally, training will soon commence for new EMTs, which is aimed at enhancing the human resource in this department as the Guyana Fire Service strives to improve the quality of service for the citizens as well as facilitate the expansion of the EMS to Regions Three (Essequibo Islands-West Demerara) and Region 6 (East Berbice-Corentyne).
The GFS promises to continue working towards providing a professional and responsible service to all who require its assistance, and looks forward to serving the people of Guyana.
