A large fire breaks out near Stabroek Market in Georgetown on Saturday night, damaging a retail building and threatening or spreading to neighbouring premises associated with KFC. Reports describe the blaze as starting around 21:30 and prompting vendors to scramble for safety as firefighters respond.
Across outlets, the fire is linked to a store in the Stabroek Market area, with some coverage specifying it as a clothing and cosmetics shop and others describing the incident as destroying a clothing store. All three accounts note the fast-food chain locations nearby, with the fire being described as threatening an adjoining building housing KFC or spreading to a former KFC building. INews Guyana adds that the firefighting operation is extensive and that the fire’s origin is unknown, citing the Guyana Fire Service.
While the core details are consistent—location near Stabroek Market, heavy damage to a retail outlet, and involvement of adjoining KFC-linked premises—coverage differs on whether KFC is present or only former premises and on the precise extent of spread.
