The Guyana Fire Service (GFS) is investigating two fires that erupted yesterday at a three-storey wooden building located on Main Street in New Amsterdam, Berbice.
The blazes are suspected to have been maliciously set. No injury was reported.
Divisional Fire Officer, Clive McDonald told Stabroek News last evening that two fires erupted at the building. The Guyana Fire Service responded to a call at 12:33 pm and upon arrival smoke was seen emanating from the building. The firefighting team managed to extinguish the blaze and prevented the fire from spreading and consuming the entire building.
