Two senior officers from the Antigua and Barbuda Fire Department are representing the nation at the 2025 Caribbean Conference and Vendor Expo, in Negril, Jamaica. The event, organized by the Jamaica Fire Brigade in collaboration with the Caribbean Association of Fire Chiefs, aims to enhance regional partnerships and share innovative practices within the fire service.
Superintendents Rohan Rodney and Verbin Peters are attending the conference, which is renowned for showcasing the latest advancements in emergency response technology. This annual gathering serves as a platform for professionals to exchange knowledge, experiences, and strategies to improve fire safety and response across the Caribbean.
Through their participation, the officers hope to bring back valuable insights that will benefit the fire service in Antigua and Barbuda, ultimately enhancing the efficacy and safety of emergency response efforts within the country.
The conference promises to be an enriching experience, paving the way for stronger collaboration among Caribbean nations in addressing fire safety challenges.
Hope what they learn can be shared with other offices to help them be more effective in carrying out their duties
Great to see our fire officers getting exposure to new tools and training! Can only help improve our local response times and safety.
Let’s hope the insights they gain actually get implemented. Too often these conferences happen and nothing changes on the ground.
Let’s see what they learned being adopted here where necessary. We are still developing
Happy to see officers get a chance to sleep in nice hotels and have fun in Negril. What we need is to ensure they get a chance at UWIFIC. Some of these constrables are in high position and cannot construct a proper sentence
Really good news for our fire officers but they need to fix the situation regarding the deplorable state the fire station is in!
Waste of money, fix the station and pay the fat bums that work in it….
