Mahdia man burnt while saving children from burning building

A brave Mahdia, Region Eight (Potaro-Siparuni) resident is now nursing burn wounds after he rescued three children from a burning building.
Eight persons are now homeless after a fire erupted and destroyed a one-storey house in Dandro Hill, Mahdia on Wednesday evening.
Injured is 42-year-old miner Seon Garraway.
Reports are that at about 19:30h on Wednesday, Garraway, along with one of his roommates, were inside their two-bedroom wooden house, babysitting three underage children when the fire started. The parents of the children were not at home at that time.
According to Police, while watching television with the young children, Garraway, began smelling smoke and only became aware of the fire when it had spread into their living room.
The blaze quickly spread to the entire house which prompted Garraway to quickly grab the children and carry them to safety. However, during this process, he sustained burns to his hands, abdomen and thighs.
While the fire engulfed the wooden house, the Police were called but by the time the fire tender arrived, the house was completely destroyed.
The cause of the fire was undetermined as investigations into the blaze continue.
The structure is said to be owned by another miner, Winsbert Evans, who also hails from Mahdia.
