Fire demolishes Land of Canaan house
A family of three lost their Land of Canaan home to a mysterious fire on Sunday night.
Sheila Sugrim and her son collapse at the scene of the fire.
The house which was located in the Rambarran Compound on Esau Street, Land of Canaan, East Bank Demerara, was occupied by Sheila Sugrim, her husband and son.
When the blaze started about 20:20 hours, no one was at home.
Sheila Sugrim was attending to her mother in a neighbouring village, while her husband was at work and her son at the nearby Mandir.
They were informed about the fire and were so overwhelmed that when they arrived at the scene, Sugrim and her son fainted repeatedly.
No one could say what caused the blaze which quickly demolished the two-bedroom wooden building.
Firefighters are expected to come up with a cause for the blaze after completing their investigations.
