Neighbours save house from being gutted

May 31, 2010 News

Quick response and assistance by nieghbours in extinguishing a fire yesterday saved a Lot 6 Triumph East Coast Demerara home from complete destruction.
According to Shamdai Kamla, at around 9:00 hours, she heard a cracking sound while she and other family members were in the yard.
Then neighbours alerted her that there was a fire in the upper flat of her home.
She disclosed that the assistance of her neighbouors, in addition to the early rains helped to dampen the exterior of the house and contained the fire, which was later extinguished, before the fire service reached.
Kamla explained that the fire started in a room and was spreading toward the bed and wardrobe.
However, before the fire managed to spread to the mattress it was extinguished. Minor things were damaged but no one was hurt.
Another resident revealed that GPL visited the home and severed the electrical connections from the pole to the house, since the building needs to be rewired because it appears that the fire was electrical in origin.
