A fire, caused by a child playing with a cigarette lighter, gutted a Friendship, East Bank Demerara (EBD) apartment on Friday and quick action by firefighters prevented the blaze from spreading to other sections of the building.
The fire started around 11.02 hrs at Lot 34 Friendship Public Road, EBD.
The two-storey wooden and concrete building is owned by 51-year-old Yonette Wiltshire. She along with nine other relatives live on the premises.
