Fire Service Sports Club On A Mission To Rebuild

-
The new Executive Committee of the Barbados Fire Service Sports and Social Cub (BFSSSC) has launched an ambitious programme to rebuild and restructure the organisation.

This was revealed by the newly appointed Public Relations Officer, Glyne Alleyne. Alleyne indicated that the programme seeks to increase membership, improve community relations, provide greater assistance to members, improve the financial disposition of the organisation and enhance the general services offered by the BFSSSC.

The organisation is also creating partnerships with social and commercial entities and is inviting interested parties to work with the Fire Service Sports Club. One of the major challenges as outlined by Alleyne is in the area of corporate sponsorship of its cricket and football teams. The financial burden of funding these two sporting disciplines has put tremendous strain on the organisation. This situation has prevented the organisation from pursuing other strategic developmental projects.

The BFSSSC is largely responsible for providing the social and recreational amenities at all fire stations across the island. The organisation provides televisions, videos, DVD players, gym equipment and cricket/football gear for members of the Barbados Fire Service. The multi-choice television subscription service at all fire stations is also paid for by the club. The BFSSSC is instrumental in supporting the fitness and physical well being of fire officers. The organisation was established in 1955 and has rendered invaluable service to firefighters and the public. Members of the public interested in joining the organisation may contact President, Ryan Lovell at 426-3504/09 or by email: bfssports@mail.com.

A nearly 6-ton satellite is gradually falling from Earth orbit, and parts of it could crash to the surface as early as Friday, September 23 (today), NASA officials said. NASA officials told ABC News overnight that they won't know where the satellite will hit until two hours before it enters the Earth's atmosphere, moving at 5 miles per second. The space agency's space debris experts predict that at least 26 large pieces of the satellite will survive the scorching temperatures of atmospheric re-entry. But exactly where the UARS satellite debris will fall is uncertain. NASA officials have said that the drop zone for UARS satellite debris could be anywhere between the latitudes of northern Canada and southern South America, an area that includes much of the planet. The satellite should re-enter over a 500-mile (804-kilometer) track, according to NASA officials. Since 75 percent of Earth is covered with ocean, there is a high likelihood that the satellite will re-enter ov...

Chief Fire Officer: Not Enough Citizens Taking Fire Prevention Seriously

-
Chief Fire Officer Wilfred Marshall has expressed concern about the high number of structural fires taking place in Barbados, in particular private dwelling houses and commercial building fires. Marshall has noted that while some fires are due to carelessness on the part of homeowners and others have been deemed as “suspicious”, a number of these fires have been classified as “undetermined”. Homeowners and people in general still have a role to play in fire prevention, he has noted. Speaking to the Barbados Advocate yesterday at Barbados Fire Service Headquarters located at Probyn Street Bridgetown, the Chief Fire Officer lamented about the number of fires of which the origin has not been determined. “I am always concerned that we have a high percentage of undetermined fires. We work closely with the police in terms of determining the cause of fires and so it is not only the Fire Service that is involved in determining the cause of a fire. We work closely with them as they bring a fore...
