A fire ripped through a Crabwood Creek sawmill yesterday morning, leaving its owners counting millions in losses.
The sawmill, N and S Gumani and Sons, located at Lot 19 Grant 1651 Crabwood Creek, Upper Corentyne, is owned by Balkumari Gumani.
A relative of the owner told Stabroek News that the fire started around 10.30 am at the 185 kVA generator, which powered the sawmill. “The workman see the fire start there and like it burn out and meet the fuel, there wasn’t no explosion or so but it start big,” the relative said.
