WATCH: Eight homeless following Love Lane fire

ST JAMES, Jamaica— Two children are among eight individuals left homeless following an early morning fire in Montego Bay on Friday.

Three dwellings constructed of board, and situated on Love Lane in the centre of the western city, went up in flames just before 8:00am, leaving five men and one woman among the homeless as well.

According to information coming from the Jamaica Fire Brigade, it was alerted to the fire at 7:45am.

Three units from the Montego Bay station responded to the scene and managed to contain the blaze to the three buildings preventing further spread.

However the three buildings impacted burned quickly, leaving the individuals with little opportunity to save anything.

Investigators have been dispatched to the scene to determine the cause of the blaze.
