Family of five homeless after Corentyne blaze

The remains of the blaze

A Corentyne family of five is now contemplating their next move after a fire of unknown origin completely destroyed their two-storey house at Tarlogie Farm, Corentyne.

Shaneka Joseph, of Lot 1 B Tarlogie Farm, Corentyne, relayed that they were fast asleep yesterday morning when her cousin alerted them around 4 am that there was a fire inside of the house.

“She (the cousin) run out and she shout fire! and I could see the flames from my bedroom. Her entire bed was on fire and I called out my brother and mom and my brother throw water but that made everything worse.”
