Kaieteur News – The Guyana Fire Service (GFS) has concluded that the fire on Sunday that destroyed the Lot 55, First Alley Wismar, Linden Region 10 home of 66-year-old Joel Brewley was caused by substandard electrical wiring.
The GFS was alerted to the fire around 11:44hrs and responded with two fire trucks from the Linden Fire Station.
Fire fighters were able to contain the blaze but the two-storey wooden and concrete structure was burnt to the ground. A nearby building was also scorched.
Investigations conducted by the fire service later revealed that the fire was caused by an electrical power surge which caused a substandard wiring network of the home to overheat.
As a result, the thermostat of a refrigerator inside the home failed and caused its compressor to explode igniting, a flame which then came into contact with nearby combustible materials thus starting the fire.
BE THANKFUL AND GRATEFUL TO THE FOREIGN EXPLOITERS
