Quick action by the Guyana Fire Service yesterday morning helped save the home of a Shirley Field Ridley Square family. According to reports the fire started sometime around 04:00hrs.
Home owner, George Scotland, told this newspaper that he noticed the smoke in his room which was at the back of the house. He said that he came out of the room and made several checks around the house.
Scotland said that he saw fire coming from the ceiling, exactly where there was an electrical box. The man said he summoned for the fire service, which arrived promptly.
Occupants noticed thick smoke in the house and quickly exited the building. Scotland said that he could not estimate the damage since according to him the entire ceiling sustained extensive damage. He said that a refrigerator was also damaged. There was some amount of water damage too, Scotland said.
Scotland and his wife complained that about nine houses are all hooked up to the same connection. They opined that the Guyana Power and Light should definitely do something because the circuit could be overloaded.
Efforts last evening to contact a GPL official proved futile.
