PHILIPSBURG:--- The Police Force of Sint Maarten (KPSM) has recently received numerous reports and observed incidents of individuals burning shrubbery and garbage on their properties without taking the necessary precautions to prevent the spread of fire and smoke to neighboring areas.
These dangerous practices pose significant risks not only to the individuals involved but also to the surrounding community. Uncontrolled fires can quickly spread, causing property damage, environmental harm, and health issues due to smoke inhalation.
The KPSM urges the public to refrain from burning shrubbery and garbage in their yards. We emphasize the importance of adhering to safety protocols and considering the potential consequences for themselves and others.
For further information and assistance, don't hesitate to get in touch with the Fire Department of Sint Maarten.
