House Fire Devastates Family in Providence

Early this morning, tragedy struck as a fire of yet undetermined origin ravaged a one-storey wooden house situated at Old Road, Providence, East Bank Demerara (EBD). The residence, which served as the home for a family of four, was consumed by flames, leaving devastation in its wake.

The occupants of the house, comprising a woman, her husband, and their two children aged 18 and 9, were fortunately not present when the fire broke out. Natasha Hope, the homeowner, had left briefly to run errands when she received a distressing call informing her of a nearby house engulfed in flames. Little did she know, the house in question was her own.

Rushing back to the scene, Hope was met with a heart-wrenching sight as she beheld her home consumed by fire. With remarkable courage, she braved the inferno in an attempt to salvage her son’s school documents, managing to rescue some amidst the engulfing heat. However, the intensity of the flames forced her to retreat to safety.

As the smoke cleared and the flames subsided, Hope and her family were left grappling with the stark reality of their loss. While they were spared physical harm, the emotional toll of witnessing their home reduced to ashes weighs heavily upon them.
