Four Dominican firefighters out of a group of five who were sent to the United States for training have not returned to the DR. The firefighting team departed from the Cibao International Airport in Santiago. In the second trip to the US, three firefighters left for training and only one, Pedro Bautista, returned. He has since been promoted to the rank of captain as a result. The authorities are investigating the incident and want to find out whether airport personnel were responsible for aiding the firefighters' escape. Emilio Antonio Filion and Pedro Antonio Almonte are among the four who stayed in the US. The Cibao Airport firefighting corps is an independent firefighting group started by authorities at the airport and has previously sponsored two training courses in New York.
