Staff of the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) were yesterday forced to evacuate the building located at 200-201 Camp Street, Georgetown after a small fire on the fourth floor.
When Stabroek News arrived on the scene, GRA staffers were observed lining the street and avenue outside the building, waiting for the all clear.
While no smoke was seen emanating from the building, Stabroek News was able to confirm from sources at the scene what had transpired. “According to the fire department, we had a power surge which led to a fluorescent bulb overheating and subsequently burning in the Risk Management Department.”
