NASSAU, BAHAMAS – The 26 marines from the Royal Bahamas Defence Force (RBDF), deployed to Freeport, Grand Bahama to assist with the ongoing bushfires, have just arrived at the Grand Bahama International Airport. They were warmly welcomed by Deputy Prime Minister Chester Cooper, Grand Bahama Minister Ginger Moxey, Leader of the Opposition Michael Pintard, and other Members of Parliament from the Free National Movement.
