A decision on whether the Hadfield Street Drop-In Centre, which was destroyed by fire almost two weeks ago, will be rebuilt for use again will be made on completion of the Commission of Inquiry (CoI) currently under way.
The fire, on the morning of July 8, claimed the lives of Joshua George, 3, and his brother Anthony George, 6. Twenty-nine other children who were at the facility escaped. At a press conference later that day, the Child Care and Protection Agency (CCPA) and Ministry of Social Protection announced that the Ministry was taking full responsibility for the incident and would cover all expenses of the funeral.
