Fire-fighters become arson investigators
After two weeks of training, nearly twenty Belizeans are now certified arson investigators. The eighteen fire-fighters of the National Fire Service, who participated in intensive sessions conducted by international instructors, were all successful and in a graduation ceremony earlier today awarded their certificates. The men and women from fire stations countrywide, studied the dynamics of how different types of fires spread, the pattern, area of origin, cause and crime scene documentation among other topics. According to the Fire Service, the government has allocated fifty thousand dollars for the training of fire-fighters.
