Thirteen persons are now homeless after an afternoon fire razed two houses in the vicinity of Hadfield Street and Louisa Row yesterday.
When Stabroek News arrived on the scene, fire-fighters had already contained the fire which had already destroyed the two wooden buildings and scorched two others.
As a precaution, occupants of the house at the front of the lot had already begun removing furniture and other household items even as the firemen continued to douse the burnt buildings.
