How long has the airport been in breach of International standards for the number of trained firefighters? It can’t have happened overnight so clearly a lack of competence by Government. Surprised the Minister hasn’t blamed their failure on the OBA.

Except that Governments of all political stripes have brought in people from overseas for as long as I have been alive.

The big change with the PLP Government is that would look everywhere except the U.K. for people.

Governments decry when private industry bring in people from overseas and says “Bermudians first”, but the fact of the matter is that there are not enough Bermudians ready, willing and able to fill all jobs in Bermuda. If we want those jobs done, ex pats are required.

Why no mention of where the ten are coming from, is it a secret?

You had to wait for a report to tell you that you were short on officers? There are global guidelines and several other ways to find this information. I trust the Fire Chief would have the means to find this info out. I wonder what this consultancy cost us.

So who is to blame for not doing their job, the PLP, the Minister, the Fire Chief, the training Officers? I could understand the shortages if there was a shortage because unemployment was at an all time low?

Fail to Prepare and you prepare to fail!

There is NO Excuse for this?

OMG if this was the OBA doing this, the airport would be shut down by the PLP and the People’s Campaign.
