An early morning fire yesterday damaged Chase Academy, located on Parade Street, Kingston.
Three classrooms and the office area were damaged in the fire, which started shortly after 2am in the three-storey building.
William Arthur, a security guard at the school, told Stabroek News that just around 2.15am he observed thick smoke coming from the office area. Upon investigating, he noticed that the smoke originated in what he described as the waiting area.
