Smoke was seen emanating from the building close to 17:00hrs and according to a statement by the Ministry of Home Affairs, “preliminary investigations revealed that it was a fire that started in the school’s science laboratory”.
“Due to the Guyana Fire Service’s quick response and diligent work,” stated the ministry, “the source of the fire was identified and it was contained”. Up to late Wednesday evening, investigators were still on the ground trying to find out what caused the fire.
