Firefighters spend much of their time battling the fires that erupt, especially during the dry season. The fires no doubt have devastated acres of land across the island over the years.
Now, the local fire department is battling it out to showcase just how many of them have a green thumb by participating in the Plant a Garden contest hosted by the District Court of Guam and the Guam Bar Association.
“All of our fire stations and our supporting offices such as the E-911 center and the headquarters are very excited for this,” said Guam Fire Department Chief Daniel Stone, as he joked about who he predicts would win the contest. “I’m sure the headquarters will win. That’s just a prediction. I will tell you the talent pool within the Guam Fire Department runs very deep. I’m sure it is going to be a very highly contested competition because we want to be able to have the bragging rights more than anyone else.”
