THE police are investigating an incident involving a Guyana Fire Service fire tender and a Ministry of Housing and Water vehicle at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence, East Bank Demerara.

The incident occurred at about 11:41hrs on Saturday, June 27, 2026.

According to the police, a 50-year-old Leading Fireman was driving the fire tender when, while attempting to exit a gate on the eastern side of the tarmac, the vehicle came into contact with a portable light pole.

The police said the ministry’s vehicle sustained damage to its right-side driver’s door and fender.

Investigators further reported that a commotion broke out at the scene involving the driver of the fire tender, police ranks and other members of the Guyana Fire Service.

The situation was later de-escalated.

Investigations are ongoing.
