This house situated at Main Street and 31 Stanleytown, New Amsterdam was in a precarious position for a long time. It came tumbling down on Monday evening.
Two occupants, a woman and her daughter were in the house at the time. Luckily none of them was seriously injured.
Personnel from the Guyana Police Force, The Guyana Fire Service and Guyana Power and Light raced to the scene, but were not required to do much. GPL personnel quickly cut the electrical wire that was attached to the house thus averting any danger and allowing the occupants to remove some of their household belongings.
