SOURCE: REAL NEWS: Firemen report being unable to save three houses as all are completely destroyed in Monday blazes of unknown origin June 27, 2023.
Officials are investigating the causes of three house fires that occurred on Monday, June 26, over a 12-hour period.
Fire fighters from the St. John’s Station were deployed to the scene of a house fire in Tinning Village after 6 a.m. that day.
Two engines – appliances No. 10 and No. 15 – rushed to the location, where two structures, measuring 10’×16’ and 21’ × 26’ were ablaze.
They were completely destroyed by the fire. Reports say the unoccupied houses, reportedly owned by the Perry family, had no electricity attached.
Further reports say the Police interviewed Nyron Batchelor, alias “Kawansah,” who told them that he is currently homeless and would sleep on the gallery of one house at night.
On Monday morning, Batchelor said, he was awakened by a heat on his skin. Accordingly, he roused himself and observed that the house was on fire.
The origin of the blaze, officials say, is not yet known. Meanwhile, an anonymous caller telephoned the Grays Farm Police Station at about 10 p.m. that night and reported that an abandoned Nut Grove house was on fire.
When officers visited the scene, they met appliances No. 15 and No. 10, from the St. John’s Fire Station, attempting to extinguish the blaze. A 24’ x 28’ abandoned wooden structure was completely engulfed in flames, with the firefighters being unable to save it from complete destruction.
No one was injured during the fire and there was nothing of value in the house, the Police say. Further, there was no electricity attached to the building; hence, the cause of the fire is currently unknown.
Reportedly, the structure had been owned by one Christina Benjamin of Nut Grove who is now deceased.
