Sections of a three-storey building at Non Pareil, East Coast Demerara, were damaged by a fire on Thursday evening that started as a result of flammable vapours released from a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinder.
A Guyana Fire Service (GFS) report stated that the fire was as a result of flammable vapours released from a LPG cylinder that came into contact with open flames from a lit gas stove. The fire subsequently ignited nearby combustible materials and spread throughout the first and second floors of the building.
