A fire of unknown orgin yesterday afternoon swept through a one-storey house located at 2067 Section ‘C’, Diamond, East Bank Demerara.
The home was rented to Lolita Singh, a 55-year-old receptionist who is now homeless.
Singh told Stabroek News yesterday that after work she was walking through Diamond making her way home, unaware that it was her building that she occupied that was on fire. She couldn’t say what might have caused the fire because she would normally leave home in the morning without making breakfast.
“I didn’t light no stove this morning and I know I normally check the electricity before I leave the home, so I don’t know what caused the fire.” She relayed that so far she is hearing it is electricial.
