Mystery fire destroys pensioner’s home
Mrs. Elaine Pollard’s house as firefighters battle the flames.
Fire of unknown origin destroyed an Ann’s Grove, East Coast Demerara house belonging to Elaine Pollard, an 80-year-old pensioner who is presently in the United States of America.
Pollard left the house in the care of Safraz Baksh, 42-year-old vendor of lot 41 Main Street, Ann’s Grove ECD. Police issued a statement saying the two-storey wood and concrete house reportedly went up in flames around 05:00 hours yesterday.
Baksh said a resident called to inform him that Elaine’s house was on fire.
The estimated cost of damage is unknown at the moment and it is unclear if the house was insured.
