Eight- year-old, Denzel Conway, of Lima Sands, Essequibo Coast remains a patient at the Suddie Public Hospital, after sustaining burns about his body, when his parents’ two storey building was destroyed by a fire.
Conway sustained burns to his feet and is said to be in a stable condition.
The fire, according to reports, was caused by a candle the eight year old was holding while he was said to be attending to a customer in the lower flat which had housed a shop.
Initial reports have suggested that the lighted the candle fell into the gasoline stored in the building.
While neighbours were unable to lend assistance in an attempt to extinguish the flames, the fire attendants at Anna Regina Fire station were summoned but they turned up after the house was almost destroyed.
Conway and his 12-year-old brother were alone at home at the time. Their mother Susie Conway was at a meeting at Anna Regina, some seven miles from Lima Sands when she learnt of the fire.
