A generator that caught fire yesterday at around 4.30 pm in the compound of Demerara Distillers Limited (DDL) at Plantation Diamond forced a halt to the company’s operations and damaged other generating sets.
The fire was eventually put out by fire-fighters who managed to prevent it from spreading to other buildings in the compound.
In a statement last night, the police said that initial investigations revealed that the Generator Room (a 60×60 concrete building located in the southeast of the DDL compound) houses seven generators, which power the entire compound.
