The Fine for starting an illegal fire anywhere in T&T during the Dry Season is now $20,000 as of 2019 according to the Ministry of Rural Development and Local Government. This Fine was previously $1,500.

Earlier this week the Met Office issued a Drought Warning for T&T - signaling a harsh Dry Season ahead. Below you will find the Ministry’s guidelines to follow after you have attained your Fire Permit.

UPDATE: According to reports, a Garbage Truck blew out a tire and smashed into the Delivery Truck, which then crossed the Median and hit the PTSC Bus.
Police have confirmed that two (2) women are dead following an accident this morning involving a Delivery Truck and a PTSC Bus along the Uriah Butler Highway, near Charlieville. A third person is in critical condition and at least 27 others have been injured - many of those in serious condition.
The Delivery Truck carrying bottled waters was on the Southbound lane of the Highway when the driver apparently lost control and crossed the Median, hitting the PTSC Bus on the Northbound lane. Part of the Northbound lane has since been blocked off by Police as clean-up efforts continue. As a result, traffic has been gridlocked for several hours and several miles.

The Trinidad & Tobago Meteorological Service has advised that T&T is now under a Meteorological Drought Warning. This type of Drought is defined in terms of the magnitude of a precipitation shortfall and the duration of this shortfall event.
The 3-month Dry Spell/Drought Outlook for the period ending March 2019 shows the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) ranging between -1.2 to -2.0, which suggest the current Dry Spell is likely to continue. Impactful drying is therefore likely to persist up to the end of March 2019.
In its “Dry/Wet Spell Monitor and Outlook by End of March 2019,” the Met Office highlighted the fact that December 2018 was the 2nd driest December recorded at Piarco in 73 years and at Crown Point it was the 6th driest December on record in 50 years.
It also stated that January 2019 was the 5th driest January recorded at Piarco in 73 years and at Crown Point it was the driest January on record in 50 years.
More information on this Meteorological Drought Warning for T&T can be found at the Met Office’s website.
