Fire partially destroys Corentyne Office

A fire on Good Friday partly destroyed the building which houses the 52-74 Water Users Association (WUA) office at Number 63 Village, Corentyne. The fire destroyed the office which stores all records and the main computer. Initial reports from the Guyana Fire Service stated that the fire could have been electrical in nature, but the Police have not ruled out arson, and are still probing.
When this publication visited on Saturday, there were two holes on the inner wall where the fire had consumed the plyboard wall. Both of them were next to where an electrical point was situated. Investigators are of the view that the fire might have been started at those two points.
Meanwhile on Saturday, the police were called in after several members of the association clashed with those who previously served as office bearers in an allegedly disorderly encounter.
