A mysterious fire on Saturday morning destroyed a bridge utilised by farmers to transport their produce in Canal No.2 West Bank Demerara and an investigation has been launched by the Guyana Fire Service to determine the cause.
On a visit to the community yesterday, residents explained that they learnt of the fire after seeing a fire truck passing through the village.
About a quarter of the bridge was destroyed by the fire making the bridge inoperative. The bridge is located in an inhabited area. Residents suggested that fire was set to the bridge since several planks and section of the beams were destroyed.
