A fire just around noon yesterday left a trail of devastation for a Grove, East Bank Demerara family as the conflagration destroyed two of their properties, one of which housed a well-known paint shop.
The origin of the fire has not yet been established and up to yesterday afternoon, fire-fighters were on the scene conducting investigations.
The raging midday fire first destroyed the BR&T Paint and Hardware Store known to many on the East Bank as ‘Rex Paint Store’ and later spread to the home of the proprietors. While a section of the house remains, the water and fire damage was extensive.
