See below for the Guyana Police Force report:
Police are investigating an incident which occurred on Saturday, June 27, 2026, about 11:41hrs, at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence, East Bank Demerara, involving a fire tender and a motor vehicle attached to the Ministry of Housing.
Enquiries disclosed that a 50-year-old Leading Fireman attached to the Guyana Fire Service was driving the fire tender at the time. While attempting to exit a gate from the eastern side of the tarmac, the fire tender came into contact with a portable light pole, which then struck the motor vehicle that was parked on the eastern side of the tarmac.
As a result, the motor vehicle sustained damage to the right-side driver’s door and fender.
During the course of the investigation at the scene, a commotion occurred involving the driver of the fire tender, Police ranks, and other Guyana Fire Service ranks. The commotion reportedly stemmed from efforts to have the driver accompany ranks as part of the investigative process.
The situation was subsequently de-escalated.
Investigations are ongoing.
