The public has been advised that there may be an increase of fire trucks on the road displaying emergency lights and sirens, as the Bermuda Fire & Rescue Service will be conducting emergency driving exercises.
A Government spokesperson said, “The public is advised that starting on Monday, February 15, fire officers from the Bermuda Fire & Rescue Service [BF&RS] will commence a series of simulated emergency driving exercises. This slate of emergency training will continue through March 19, 2021.
