Statement on the First Positive Case on the Saint Lucia Fire Service.

Statement on the First Positive Case of Covid-19 in the Saint Lucia Fire Service.

On this date, 46 years ago, the Saint Lucia Fire Service was born.

We have progressed significantly through the years, from having 85 fire personnel and 4 fire stations located in the city of Castries, the towns of Vieux-Fort and Soufriere, and the village of Dennery, to now having an additional five fire stations and a staff complement of over 300 firefighters. Also adding to the organization, 21 civilian staff and recently, 12 EMTs to assist with COVID 19 responses.

Our message, however, remains the same. While being charged with the protection of life and property, we are also advocates for fire safety. The recent house fire in Cedar Heights, Vieux Fort, should serve as an indication to citizens, that fire safety is everyone's business.

Installing and maintaining working smoke detectors in all enclosed spaces in your home or business, installing fire extinguishers, and formulating and practicing an evacuation plan should be paramount for every household and business place.

Let us work together, for a safer Saint Lucia.

We wish all our officers and staff a Happy 46th Anniversary!

For further information and/or assistance, please feel free to contact the Fire Service on telephone number 455 6100 or visit our page.

While we and parts of the world observe June 19 as a day of emancipation for slaves in the United States, we the Saint Lucia Fire Service, takes this time to observe a bit of our history.

On June 19 2020, we remember the devastating fire in the city Castries which occurred on June 19 1948. #ourhistory #servicecommitmentdevotion #acitysdeathbyfire #saintluciafireservice

"Today marks the seventy-second (72) anniversary of the most devastating fire which occurred on our island, St. Lucia. On June 19, 1948, a fire swept through the city walls of Castries destroying seventy-five percent (75%) of the business center of the country, leaving approximately two thousand (2000) people homeless. To this day, no one knows for sure how the fire started, or what may have caused this conflagration in the country’s capital.
Consequently, this fire along with many others have spurred fire safety regulations throughout the country. With the vision of preventing a fire of such magnitude from reoccurring, the St. Lucia Fire Service established the Fire Prevention and Investigation Department.
This department has the mandate to ensure that every building of public interest throughout St. Lucia meets the Safety Standards to operate. It is for this reason; the Public is reminded of the regulation stipulated in the St. Lucia Labour code 2006, Section 233 subsection (1).
“An employer or a person in control of an industrial establishment shall ensure that his or her industrial establishment is certified every twenty-four months by the Chief Fire Officer”.
Having said this, the St.Lucia Fire Prevention Department remains committed to serving you." -- Owen Cazaubon (Acting Station Officer/Fire Investigator II)
