Firefighters were yesterday forced to put out a grass fire that was lit on the Queen’s College field, resulting in clouds of heavy smoke that covered surrounding areas and affected visibility along nearby roads.
The fire was started around 9.30 am and spread across the field, where it also threatened the wooden building used as living quarters by the groundsmen.
The Guyana Fire Service was alerted and firefighters who responded quickly put out the fire. Four fire tenders was dispatched.
