Note from the Public Entity:
In the past 24 hours, Saba has experienced two bush fire incidents, one in The Bottom and one in Booby Hill. Both fires were quickly extinguished by the Fire Department. Although the cause is not yet known, authorities are taking it that these fires are related to the current drought on Saba.
The fact that the island is very dry, combined with the relatively hot weather, makes nature more susceptible to bush fires. Authorities ask the people to please be mindful when throwing lit cigarettes in the grass while walking or driving and to refrain from lighting bush fires.
