Police in Berbice are investigating a fire which was set in the male washroom at the University of Guyana Berbice Campus (UGBC) on Wednesday afternoon.
“A ball of fire on the cistern” was discovered by a security guard who was about to relieve himself shortly after 13:15 hrs.
The fire was set from a bundle of toilet paper in one of the cubicles in the facility, and was starting to spread. Swift action by security officials, groundsmen and a janitor, resulted in the fire being quickly extinguished. The cistern was damaged.
The area was subsequently cordoned off.
“I saw a set of toilet paper burning…attempts were made to get it [the fire] out and the groundsmen were summoned as well as the Administrative Officer, who was informed. I saw that the cover of the cistern was broken,” one eyewitness related
Detectives were on campus yesterday taking statements and photographs of the burnt toilet equipment. No student or individual was caught in the act, neither has anyone been arrested or reprimanded thus far.
