A family of six is now homeless after an early morning fire gutted their entire two-storey house in Canefield, East Canje Berbice.
Elna Thornhill, 64, resided at the location with her husband, daughter, son-in-law and two grandchildren.
The fire of unknown origin started just around 6.40 am in the upper flat of Thornhill’s two- storey concrete and wooden house.
According to her, she was in the bathroom located in the lower flat about to shower when her husband who had suffered from a stroke sometime back told her that flames had engulfed the roof of their house.
