Four persons are now homeless after a fire completely destroyed the top floor of their home yesterday.

According to Head of Opera-tions of the Guyana Fire Service (GFS), Compton Sparman, the GFS received a call around 2:45 PM alerting them to a fire at 1515 Princes Street. “Immediate-ly we dispatched two appliances from Central Fire Station and one from West (Ruimveldt)”.

“When we got here the entire top floor of the building was engulfed in flames. Immediately we got into firefighting operations using the water supplied and subsequently water from the canal and we successfully confined the fire to the top floor,” Sparman said,
