A family of three on Saturday was left homeless after a fire ravaged their one storey wooden home in Lot 197 Section A Field Seven South Sophia, Greater Georgetown.

When Guyana Times arrived at the scene, a neighbour, who gave his name only as Randy, said that he was at home at about 16:30h when he heard explosive sounds.
The man related that shortly after he saw the house in flames.
“Everything they lose, they weren’t able to save anything, because nobody was at home at the time. The house is small so it burned very quickly,” the neighbour related.
Efforts by neighbours and firefighters to save the house proved futile. The Guyana Fire Service have since launched an investigation.
