A fire of unknown origin has completely destroyed a Mon Repos, East Coast Demerara (ECD) home in the wee hours of Tuesday, thus leaving four persons to make alternative living arrangements.
The Guyana Fire Service (GFS), days after the devastating fire, stated that the inferno started at about 01:46h on Tuesday and completely gutted a two-storey wooden and concrete building at Block 9 “C” Mon Repos.
The GFS stated that upon receiving the report of the fire, two water tenders and a water carrier, along with crew members, were deployed to the scene.
Upon their arrival on the scene by 01:59h, the nine-member team immediately commenced operations to contain the blaze.
The affected building, the GFS stated, was home to Raji Ally and his wife, social media commentator Jennifer Ally, and their two children, aged four and five years old. The structure and all its contents were completely destroyed, but no injuries were reported.
An investigation was launched to determine the cause of the blaze.
Meanwhile, Ally’s wife, Jennifer is expected to appear before the Ethnic Relation Commission (ERC) today for making several racial comments.
