A La Penitence house was completely destroyed in a mysterious fire yesterday but two others were saved from destruction after a prompt response by the Guyana Fire Service.
The house located at 183 Middle Road, La Penitence went up in flames around 1 pm. Stabroek News understands that the fire quickly consumed the house preventing the occupants from saving anything of value.
When Stabroek News arrived on the scene, fire-fighters had contained the blaze and the occupants Colin and Marlyn Clarke were being consoled by friends and family.
According to Colin, he had just returned from a “weeding job” and was enjoying a mango when he was alerted to the fire.
