Fire strikes at Lethem Research Centre
A section of the Library that was burnt
It was all thanks to public-spirited citizens and two “black tanks” of water that the Lethem Education Research Centre was saved from going up in flames.
Kaieteur News understands that the fire was discovered in a section of the flat, L-shaped library at around 06:00hrs yesterday by a passerby who immediately raised an alarm.
This newspaper was told that had it not been for the two “black tanks”, the building would have been totally destroyed, since there was a significant water shortage in the area.
It was noted that the water was being stored at the back of the building since the last water shortage which was several months ago. Yesterday’s fire destroyed several shelves of “expensive” literacy pieces. The building was also severely scorched.
While the origin of the fire is currently unknown, an investigation has been launched.
