The Barbados Fire Service is appealing to Barbadians to exercise more care and caution on the road. Deputy Chief Fire Officer Henderson Patrick said not only were they responding to fires, but crews were also being called out to vehicular accidents – some of them mass casualty situations. “People have to be very responsible when they are transporting individuals. We have to be cognisant of the fact that we are not the only road users. We recognise that persons’ lives are at stake when these incidents occur,” he said yesterday morning. “Quite recently . . . we had at least two mass casualties. While we are thankful that the situation was not as bad as these things could be, we still appeal to people to exercise greater due care and attention when using our roads.” On Tuesday, crews from the Fire Service were pressed into action at Foursquare, St Philip, where 20 people were injured in a collision involving a truck and a minibus. @bajanfirefighters #safety
