Five weeks later, the Guyana Fire Service (GFS) is yet to determine the cause of the blaze at the Ramada Princess Hotel and Casino at Providence that saw dramatic rescues and some guests fleeing from balconies using sheets tied together.

The fire occurred on September 24th and on Tuesday, Fire Chief Gregory Wickham told Stabroek News that the origin is yet to be determined.

“As we went through the rubble, our investigative team went through and did their work and we are not able at this time to come up with a cause of the fire. So, we are still continuing our investigative work”, Wickham said.
