Over A Dozen Bush Fires On Weekend

Instead of "rain, rain go away" Belizeans all over the country are crying "heat, heat go away" - unless you were sipping on a chilled drink near a beach this weekend, you would have felt like you were melting under the smothering heat. And with all this heat comes burning flames - bush fires! And this weekend, the fire department had to respond to over 20 fires all over the country. Station Officer at the National Fire Service Orin Smith says the department can only do so much so they are asking you, the public to be responsible and alert and to protect yourself and your property.
