Small fire put out in Stabroek Market stall

Members of the Guyana Fire Service managed to contain a small blaze of unknown origin at a meat stall located in Stabroek Market last evening.

The meat stall is located some steps away from one of the Stabroek Market’s entrances. According to unconfirmed reports, the fire was suspected to have started from an electrical fan that was left working after the normal business hours.

When Stabroek News arrived on the scene just about 9:30 PM yesterday, the fire had already been put out by fire-fighters who according to some vendors responded quickly. However, the extent of any damage was not immediately known.

Efforts to contact fire officials prove futile.
