ST JAMES, Jamaica — Some 77 residents from communities across St James have been trained as community fire-safety wardens to help identify fire hazards and respond to emergencies before Jamaica Fire Brigade (JFB) personnel arrive.
The initiative forms part of the JFB’s efforts to strengthen community involvement in fire prevention and reduce the incidence of fires.
Assistant Superintendent in charge of the JFB’s Fire Prevention and Life Safety Unit in St James, Donovan McLaren, said the new wardens will play a crucial role in helping residents identify and address potential fire hazards in their communities.
