THE FIRE CHIEF is concerned, and so is the head of the ambulance service, in the wake of an upsurge of serious accidents and incidents.

Chief Fire Officer Errol Maynard is appealing for care on the roads, while head of the Emergency Ambulance Service, Dr David Byer, wants to see a reduction of incidents.

Yesterday the two told the DAILY NATION that it had been a busy first five weeks of the year for their essential services.

Fire officers have been called upon to extricate a number of victims from mangled cars and ambulance personnel have been kept busy ferrying them to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital for medical treatment. (HLE)
