Arson suspected in $2m St George’s College fire
THE fire that destroyed a business office of the Jesuit Centre on the compound of the St George’s College Monday night has left damage amounting to $2 million.

According to senior deputy superintendent of fire John Forester of the York Park Fire Station, a member of the clergy residing on the premises, who heard explosions and went to investigate, summoned them at about 11:24 pm Monday night.
