At approximately 04:37 hrs today, the Fire Service received a call and was alerted to a fire at Lot 480, ‘B’ Field Sophia, Greater Georgetown.

Water Tenders #85, #105, Water Carrier #14, Ambulance #18, and eighteen (18) personnel were immediately dispatched to the location.

The structure involved was a two-storey wooden and concrete building owned by 59-year-old Elroy Trotman.

The first floor of the building was occupied by the owner and his family of four, while the ground floor was occupied by 42-year-old Shabana Jamboo and 47-year-old Rickford Tobin.

As a result of the fire, the building and its contents were destroyed, leaving all seven (7) occupants homeless.

Additionally, two houses and three vehicles in close proximity to the building of origin were damaged due to radiated heat from the building of origin.

The fire started after faulty electrical wiring overheated, which led to a breakdown of the installation, resulting in arcing and sparking and the subsequent ignition of nearby combustible materials.

Two jets working from tank supply in conjunction with Light Pump #129 via an open water source were used to extinguish the fire.

The Guyana Fire Service is urging citizens to be vigilant and practice fire safety and prevention during the holiday season.

Keep an eye on electrical connections and appliances, and avoid overloading electrical outlets.

Ensure homes are equipped with fire extinguishers and smoke detectors.

Remember to report all fires as soon as they occur by calling 912.
