Investigators from the Guyana Fire Service (GFS) and the Guyana Police Force are yet to determine the cause of a fire which ripped through an entire block, which housed a supermarket and other businesses, just under a week ago on Saffon Street.

This was confirmed by the Fire Chief, Gregory Wickham, who said in an interview with Stabroek News that the investigation is ongoing.

“We are still continuing our investigation. We have an ongoing investigation going on; we have not concluded as yet as to the cause of the fire”
