Family loses house, store in Meten-Meer-Zorg fire

A crowd gathered in front of the Saver’s Choice Bargain Centre at Meten-Meer-Zorg, which was gutted by fire yesterday.

Fire suspected to be electrical in origin gutted a Meten-Meer-Zorg, West Coast Demerara general store yesterday morning, leaving three homeless and millions in losses.

It was the third fire in five days to hit the West Demerara.  Fire-fighters were chastised by residents for arriving without water when responding to the 7.30 am blaze at the Saver’s Choice Bargain Centre, which also housed a MoneyGram outlet. “We see the smoke, when we call the fire [service], nothing,”
