Motorists traveling along the highway today encountered heavy smoke that significantly impaired visibility as they approached the Auchenskeoch roundabout around 11 a.m. This incident was due to a bushfire in the area.
The Tobago Emergency Management Agency (TEMA) and the Fire Services Department swiftly responded to the scene, effectively addressing the fire before it could escalate and cause further disruption or potential harm.
Given the ongoing heatwave in Tobago, residents are strongly urged to exercise extreme caution in the vicinity of bushfires. They are advised to promptly contact TEMA or the Fire Department if they come across a fire that they are unable to manage themselves. Rapid response is crucial to preventing larger, more dangerous blazes across the island.
