For the latest news across Belize, visit: http://edition.channel5belize.com/ The tragic fire that claimed the lives of four members of the Petillo family in Orange Walk Town on Sunday morning remains a talking point in light of numerous criticisms made against the National Fire Service. Once again, the department has been disparaged for not responding promptly to the deadly blaze and when it did show up on the scene, it was ill-prepared to fight the fire. The responsibility of the fire service falls within the portfolio of NEMO Minister Edmond Castro, who rose today to offer his condolences, as well as to outline new steps that government is taking to build the resources of the department.
