Injured firemen recount harrowing Gafoor’s blaze

Five of the six firefighters who were injured following Monday’s blaze at the Gafoor’s Houston Complex are now at home recovering while the family of the other is left to cover the cost of a much needed CT scan as the man remains a patient of the Male Surgical Ward at the Georgetown Public Hospital.

The massive fire which gutted 60% of the Houston, East Bank Demerara Complex saw all of the city’s available resources being utilized to help fight the conflagration that had quickly spread from the bond to other sections of the complex.
