A mysterious fire yesterday morning completely destroyed a wooden building at Vigilance, East Coast Demerara (ECD), leaving three persons homeless.
The Lot 55 Vigilance North, ECD structure which had two apartments went up in flames around 11.15 am yesterday and the tenants estimate their losses to be in the millions. The house at the time had no access to electricity.
One of the apartments was occupied by a couple, whose names were given as Denis Baggot and Adela Duncan. The identity of the individual who lived in the second apartment where the fire started was not immediately known and he was not seen during the incident. Both apartments were rentals and efforts to speak to the owner proved futile.
