Antigua and Barbuda Fire Brigade To Be Renamed

2

The Antigua and Barbuda Fire Brigade is undergoing a significant name change, becoming the Antigua and Barbuda Fire and Rescue Services, as announced by Public Safety Minister Steadroy Benjamin.

The new name aligns with the department’s substantial role in ensuring public safety, including handling accidents requiring the “jaws of life” and responding to fires nationwide. Minister Benjamin stressed the essential nature of their work in safeguarding the community.

Additionally, the Fire and Rescue Services will take on the responsibility of enforcing building construction regulations in collaboration with the Development Control Authority.

The minister also promised updated equipment to enhance their effectiveness.
