Fire Chief Marlon Gentle has said that despite their challenges, firefighters could have done better in their response to the Sheriff Street blaze on Wednesday that destroyed three buildings.
The fire, which started at the Associated Packers Industry building on John Street then quickly moved to the surrounding DeSinco buildings and lasted over five hours as the fire service battled with water supply issues.
Gentle, who yesterday noted that an investigation was still ongoing, said that there were a number of hindrances to the firefighters.
