4 homeless after D’Andrade Street home goes up in flames

A senior employee attached to the Guyana Power and Light (GPL) and her three children are now forced to make alternative living arrangements after a fire of unknown origin swept through their D’Andrade Street, Kitty home on Sunday.
At the time of the fire, Ruth Lee claimed that no one was at home, but residents

claimed otherwise. They reportedly told media operatives that the woman’s daughter and two other persons were in the house when they observed smoke emanating from the upper flat of the building. They quickly rushed to safety.
By the time residents rushed to the scene, the interior of the building was already engulfed, but the residents’ quick response meant they managed to save several nearby houses.
Three fire tenders from the Central Fire Station responded to the report, with the firefighters without hesitation going into firefighting mode. After some time, the fire was contained to one location. Fire officials have launched an investigation into the blaze.
