A fire of unknown origin partially destroyed a Friendship, East Bank Demerara home yesterday.
The fire reportedly started sometime around 12:00hrs at the west end of the Lot 13 Friendship building and quickly consumed most of the structure.
When this publication arrived at the scene, fire fighters had already extinguished the inferno and were dousing the smouldering remains.
Grove businessman, Linden Gilgeous called ‘Rambo’ is now counting millions of dollars in damage.
His wife, Padawattie Gilgeous, said that they were at their Creole Cuisine snackette located at the Times Square Mall, Golden Grove, East Bank Demerara when they were informed that there was a fire at their home.
By the time they arrived, most of the building was already engulfed.
Padawattie’s daughter, Diane Bharrat, and her husband also resided at the Friendship home.
Neighbors on either side of the burnt home commended the fire fighters for their quick response which resulted in other homes being saved. They also commended public spirited citizens who helped in getting their furniture and other valuables out of their homes.
One neighbor, Babita Nageer, stated that she had just returned from church and was about to have lunch when she heard shouts of “Fire! Fire!”
Another neighbor, Deodat Ragnauth, said that after he saw the fire and raised an alarm he immediately began throwing water on the outer walls of his house.
Investigations are ongoing.
