Family of 3 homeless after fire ravages Tuschen home
A family of three returned home on Saturday evening to a heart-wrenching sight—their house had been ravaged by a fire suspected to have been electrical in origin.
The incident occurred at Lot 1822 Tuschen New Scheme, East Bank Essequibo (EBE).
The house that was destroyed by fire
Guyana Times understands that the family was at a birthday celebration in La Parfaite Harmonie, West Bank Demerara (WBD), when they received a telephone call at about 20:15h that their house was on fire.
Upon returning to Tuschen, they broke down in tears upon seeing their house completely destroyed.
The wooden house reportedly belonged to Clint Roberts, a mason, who lived there with his wife, a teacher, and their four-year-old daughter.
A relative told this publication that the house had only one light left on. Neighbours informed the family that there had been an electrical spark after a power fluctuation in the area, which led to the fire’s outbreak.
Unfortunately, the fire consumed the house along with various appliances and furniture, causing an estimated loss of around $3 million. The family is currently staying with relatives.
If anyone would like to extend their support and help the family get back on their feet during this challenging time, a GoFundMe campaign has been set up. Family of 3 homeless after fire ravages Tuschen home
