The fire that destroyed farmer Nazareen Khan, a/k Gums’s bond, his tractor, spray cans, tarpaulins and a number of other farming equipment on December 5 ,at his Riverstown, Essequibo residence was actually caused by a short circuit, his cousin, Rajo, said.
Khan had apparently left his tractor with its ignition on and went to the back dam to attend to his rice field.
Rajo said that Khan’s sister, Bhagwandai Sukhai, noticed the smoke emanating from the bond and subsequently alerted her neighbours.
Residents who formed a bucket brigade managed to contain the fire to the bond.
The Guyana Police Force, Guyana Power and Light and the Guyana Fire Service at Anna Regina were summoned but made it after the fire was extinguished.
Rajo lamented that in a situation in which the fire service would have to travel a far distance whenever there is an occurrence of fire on the Coast, there should be another fire outlet, preferably at Supenaam to lend efficiency.
