Caye Caulker's northside is getting a new fire truck, the first on that side of the island.
This morning Charge' d' Affairs Leyla Moses-Ones said that the Firetruck is expected to "increase the Fire Department's emergency readiness, benefitting more than 5,000 people."
It arrived in the country in impressive style this morning delivered by an Air Force C-17 and comes as part of the Denton program, a cost-free multi-agency transportation assistance program that allows for humanitarian goods and cargo to be transported on U.S. military carriers to countries like Belize.
And, this morning at the arrival observers were reminded that this is just the first of two American military flights scheduled to transport emergency response vehicles to Belize this month.
