A female corporal from the St Catherine Fire Brigade is now in hospital after she suffered carbon monoxide poisoning while responding to a bush fire along Old Harbour Road in St Catherine on Monday.
This was revealed at the monthly general meeting of the St Catherine Municipal Corporation on Thursday.
District Officer Andrea Morris revealed to councillors that the fire department’s four stations in the parish have responded to 470 calls for April 2024.
It was revealed that calls about bush fires were the main concern.
“It was while attending to a fire when the incident occurred. At first we thought it was something simple until it was proven otherwise,” Morris said.
