A fire of unknown origin last night destroyed a Lusignan, East Coast Demerara (ECD) building and quick action by the Guyana Fire Service (GFS) prevented the blaze from engulfing nearby structures.
Reports are that the fire started around 8.05 pm and quickly ripped through a two-storey building situated at Lot 171 Lusignan West, ECD. The building housed a dwelling space, the office of a marriage officer and a welding workshop. No one was present at the time.
A neighbouring building which housed the Long Chang aluminum hardware store sustained minor damage. The two buildings are situated between BM Soat Auto Sales and Caricom Auto Sales.
