Firefighters compete in Olympiad
Over the weekend, firefighters flocked to Benque Viejo del Carmen…but no, there wasn’t a massive blaze to hose down. The men and women of the National Fire Service had gathered to fight amongst themselves for top honours in various fire drills and physical fitness exercises in the annual Fire Olympiad. Teams representing each district and San Pedro competed, but in the end it was the firefighters of Belize Regular who placed first. Benque’s Regulars came in second, while the Santa Elena, Cayo squad rounded out the top three. This year’s Olympiad was sponsored by Belize Electricity Limited.
