Residents of Port Kaituma are calling for a complete halt to the pumping of fuel or an alternative system to be put in place at the Turn Basin where a devastating fire destroyed boats and buildings on Friday. The fire was caused by the explosion of a fuel trawler because of a defective pump.

According to resident Richard Allen, there are approximately 200 families living up the Turn Basin,
