A Guyana Fire Service (GFS) investigation has found that last week’s fire at the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) Headquarters, Eve Leary, was caused by a fan that was left plugged in for a prolonged period.
GFS Fire Prevention Officer Sheldon Sauns told Stabroek News that the fire was electrical in origin as the electric fan was left plugged in for a prolonged period and ignited combustible material.
On Monday, May 16, the GFS responded to a call at 10:20 hrs about a fire at the Narcotics Lab of the CID Headquarters.
