Structure Fire Incident
The Cayman Islands Fire Service (CIFS) responded at 3:04 p.m. (22 March 2022) to a 911 report of a brush fire at Compass Drive, George Town.
On arrival, CIFS confirmed that an old sewage treatment plant that was on fire (and a brush area close to the treatment plant) was fully engulfed in flames at the location.
CIFS crews responded swiftly and were able to extinguish the fire using monitors and high-pressure hose reels from one of the CIFS tankers. This quick response prevented major damage to property and no injuries were reported.
The public is reminded in the event of discovering a structure fire to take all necessary precautions. Persons are asked to stay safe by getting out and staying out of the area, and immediately calling 911 for the Fire Department.
