On Friday evening, the upper flat of a residence at Lot 252 Lamaha Park, Georgetown, was completely destroyed by fire.
Andrew McBean, owner of Designs 360 Custom Apparel, who occupied the house, told this newspaper that on the night in question he was in the lower flat of the building from which he operates his business. At around quarter to nine he was closing up when neighbours alerted him that something was happening, “When I came out, right where the wire connects to the front door of the house, it caught right where the wire connects to the meter which was right next to the front door.” This acted as a barrier, preventing McBean from entering the house.
