Fire! (truck)

THE Bequia fire truck had a flat tire at 2pm a few days ago.

I know this because I passed it on The only road on Bequia.

I said 'Oh look, the fire truck has a flat tire'.

3.5 hours later it still had a flat tire and THE evening flight in had to be diverted to St. Vincent because planes aren't allowed to land if there's no operational fire truck on the island.


Of course we were waiting for hotel guests arriving on that flight, so we had to scramble and hope they made the last ferry over that night, luckily they did and they came only 2 hours later.

Aah, only in Bequia.
