Fire Chief, Marlon Gentle, has confirmed that investigations into Stabroek Wharf fire have revealed that the blaze was an act of arson.
The fire reportedly started about midnight on Monday last and initial reports by the Guyana Fire Service suggested that the blaze was started by a female stallholder after she had an altercation with her partner, which led to the woman dousing her stall with a flammable substance and then igniting same.
The blaze was contained by the fire service within 45 minutes but after it destroyed 25% of the wharf, a number of stalls and scorched a large area.
This publication received reports of a fire at Stabroek Market just before midnight on Monday.
Upon arriving at the scene, the Guyana Fire Service were equipped with three fire tenders and a number of personnel battling the blaze that had engulfed the north-western side of the wharf that sits just over the Demerara River.
Investigations are still ongoing.
