| An Air Tanker for Fires |
| Tue, April 28, 2020 |

| It's been smoke-filled and stifling days in the west but help is on the way and tomorrow an air tanker plane will fly over the periphery of Belmopan to fight slow-burning fires in the northeast and southeast of the city.
The air tanker, that will be in operation from 5 am onward, will be flown out of Spanish Lookout by experienced pilots, and will be dumping several hundred gallons of water over the fires in a given pass.
Residents are advised to not be alarmed if they see or hear the air tanker as it is here to help.
This air tanker service is made possible through the generous donation of the Protected Areas Conservation Trust, which is an organization resident in Belmopan.
