A fire believed to have been electrical in origin left 15 persons homeless yesterday afternoon and the fire service was berated for its slow response.
The Gilliams family of Lot 61 Bent Street, Worthmanville was inconsolable; some of them came home to a house gutted. According to Trishana Green- one of the occupants, who was home at the time, “all I hear is ma aunty upstairs shouting fire”.
Green said she grabbed her baby who is about three months old and with her big brother, ran out of the house. Green lives with her brother and mother, Monica Gilliams, in the front half of the bottom flat.
