Six Rasville families lost their homes on Saturday after an apartment building was gutted in a fire started by a child.
The fire occurred sometime after 3 pm at Lot 45 Rasville, Roxanne Burnham Gardens.
Deputy Fire Chief Gregory Wickham told Sunday Stabroek that the Fire Service’s investigations revealed that a child was left unattended in one of the apartments and set the house ablaze while playing with a lighter. No one else was at home at that time.
