Fire destroys East Coast house
A fire of unknown origin totally destroyed a three-bedroom house at Felicity,
Yasim Ashim and five of his six children
East Coast Demerara. According to reports the fire started some time after noon and quickly razed the building. At the time of the fire no one was at home.
Patriarch of the home, Yasim Ashim, said that he shared the house with his wife and six children. He said that his father had a separate room at the back of the house. That was also destroyed. The man told Kaieteur News that he was at Atlantic Gardens, East Coast Demerara when a friend broke the news to him.
“She asked if I know me house on fire, so I just drop everything and rush back home,” the man told Kaieteur News. Upon his arrival he saw fire fighters battling to control the blaze.
Ashim told Kaieteur News that he was not able to save anything from his home. The man said that several minutes earlier he had returned to have lunch. He was positive that no electrical appliance was left on. The man said he could not put an estimate to his damages.
