Residents of San Pedro should rest easier tonight as they received a new
fire truck courtesy of the government of Belize. The vehicle comes as
the last of five, which were bought by the National Fire Service and
built to meet local specifications. Among other items purchased were
100 fire hydrants, which will be placed in Belize City and district
towns. Financing for the tenders came from a two million dollar capital
budget allocated to the National Fire Service for the 1999-2000 fiscal
year.
