VISIT TO THE LOAL FIRE DEPARTMENT











Visit to the local fire department in Jacmel found they are in desperate need of training and equipment.. The two ambulances do not work. Engines in both of them are ceased. There are 16 firemen that work combination Police and Firemen. You can see their gym for weightlifting, their bunks for the overnight shifts and one of the fire trucks is a 1957 vintage. The breaks do not work in this truck so they are down to one truck. You can see one of the firemen carrying a side arm as they can get called out on police matters at any time...... I see this as another way we an help to make it safer for the Firemen and the people of Jacmel to help in this area of need.....
