A fire on Saturday destroys houses at Farm, Vryheid’s Lust in East Bank Demerara, according to the Guyana Fire Service. Kaieteur News reports that a home at Farm, Housing Scheme is destroyed, with the owner and family living in an upper flat and the lower flat rented to tenants. When firefighters arrive, the building is already engulfed in flames.
INews Guyana adds that there are separate fires in the same broader Farm, Vryheid’s Lust area. It reports that two houses are destroyed across Region Four, including a blaze at Lot 87 Farm, East Bank Demerara. The outlet says multiple fire units are dispatched, including Water Tender #127 from the Diamond Fire Station and Water Carrier #20 from the Eccles Fire Station.
Both accounts attribute the response to the Guyana Fire Service and describe significant damage, but they differ on the number of houses affected and the specific lot information provided.
