Fire destroys three-storey property at Bartica
Fire this morning gutted a three-storey property at 6th Avenue Bartica.
The Guyana Fire Service (GFS) today said that the property is owned by Ryan Mahadeo and Emily Mahadeo.
At approximately 02:29 hrs, the GFS said that the Bartica Fire Station received a report of a building on fire. Two appliances, Water Tender #126 and Water Carrier #24, were immediately deployed to the scene.
Upon arrival, the crew encountered a three-storey concrete and timber structure that was already fully engulfed.
Despite the efforts of the responding team, the building and its contents were completely destroyed. Four jets, operating in conjunction with both responding appliances, were employed to bring the blaze under control.
According to the Station Officer Johnson, firefighters were able to prevent the fire from spreading to nearby buildings, effectively containing the blaze to the affected property.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation by the Fire Prevention Department.
