Fire Chief Marlon Gentle says tyres are being used to launch arson attacks as in the most recent case with the Guyana Human Rights Centre on Hadfield St and Austin Place.
Contacted yesterday afternoon, Gentle told Stabroek News that investigations revealed that the fire started on Sunday morning after a tyre was thrown into the building. “For no reason or anything,” he said.
The Guyana Human Rights Association in a statement on Sunday evening said that the building suffered “significant physical damage” early Sunday morning.
