An electrical fire, which could have been disastrous was extinguished yesterday at the University of Guyana’s Turkeyen Campus, acting fire Chief Gregory Wickham confirmed last night.
The fire started due to an electrical fan which had been left on in the maintenance room. It was extinguished by someone who was present and quickly alerted the fire service. The swift response led to the fire being put out, resulting in only minor damage to a nearby wall and the fan.
