Reports say that a Hatton resident awoke early Thursday morning to find his two-bedroom wooden house engulfed in fire.
State media report that the man had time to save only his important documents, since all his cash, personal belongings, and car – which was parked in front of the house – were destroyed.
Only a small wooden portion of the house and its concrete pillars are now visible following the inferno. Even nearby trees and the surrounding galvanized fence were scorched by the blaze.
Reports are that the Fire Department responded quickly to the scene. While firefighters were unable to save this house, they went into action and prevented the blaze from consuming two other houses on the same compound.
The property reportedly is located east of Bruce’s Night Club on the Hatton Main Road.
On Monday, July 25, four homes were destroyed by fire in the Greenbay Hill-Bakers Street area, leaving more than a dozen people homeless. Further, what appeared to be human remains were found among the rubble.
The cause of that fire is still under investigation. However, a neighbour claims she heard a loud falling sound coming from a bedroom of the house and later saw fire coming from that same room.CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHATS APP GROUP FOR MORE UPDATES
