Fire destroys Stewartville furniture establishment

Mar 18, 2013 News

Millions in dollars went up in flames yesterday evening when fire of unknown origin destroyed a home and a furniture making establishment at Second Street, Stewartville, West Coast Demerara.
The blaze has left six persons homeless.
Reports reaching this newspaper stated that the occupants were in the house when they saw smoke coming from a section of the building.
Upon checking they discovered that a huge fire had already started and they immediately tried saving some valuables just before the flames quickly engulfed the entire building.
Kaieteur News understands that apart from a few pieces of furniture and ply wood from the furniture making establishment, the family was only able to save precious little.
There are reports that fire fighters were hampered by a lack of water in their battle to extinguish the blaze.
Up to late last night investigators from the police as well as the fire service were still trying to ascertain what caused the fire.
