The Guyana Fire Service (GFS) is urging people across Guyana’s ten administrative regions to take extreme precautions as dry, intense weather tied to the El Niño period increases the risk of fires. In statements issued from the Office of the Chief Fire Officer, the service warns that higher temperatures and dried-out vegetation make grass fires more likely and allow small ignition sources to spread quickly. The GFS also highlights the risk of structural fires under these conditions. The advisory focuses on fire prevention and public caution during the period leading up to, and during, El Niño-related weather changes. While the reports emphasize that conditions are becoming more hazardous due to dryness and heat, they do not describe any specific incidents or reported fire outbreaks. Instead, the GFS calls on residents to be careful to reduce the chance of ignition and rapid fire spread across both outdoor areas and buildings. The guidance is presented as a nationwide preventive measure in response to worsening seasonal conditions.
