A family of five lost everything yesterday after a fire of unknown origin completely destroyed their home at Friendship Squatting Area, East Bank Demerara.
Gavin McDonald who along with his brother and sister were living in the home said that he had just stepped out of the house to visit his sister in law farther up the street when he heard someone say the house was on fire. Their mother Beatrice ‘Sandy’ McDonald and her husband are presently overseas on vacation. They are expected to return on Monday.
