Another fire tender will soon become a fixture in the South of Antigua, the government has said.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Cabinet was informed that four tenders, both new and used, will be shipped to Antigua shortly to meet the increasing demand of homeowners for the service, and the international airport to retain its Tier One status.<\/p>\n
