KINGSTON, Jamaica—Superior Parts Limited says it is cooperating fully with the relevant authorities as investigations into the cause of fire which engulfed one of its branches on Hagley Park Road on Thursday continues.

The company in a statement said as those investigations remain ongoing, it would be inappropriate for the company to speculate the cause or the circumstances surrounding its spread. It said it will await the findings of the relevant authorities.

Meanwhile, the company expressed gratitude to its team members who were able to evacuate safely noting their safety remains among its highest priorities during this difficult time.

Superior Parts Limited also expressed concern about the impact of the fire on its surrounding community.

“We recognise that neighbouring businesses and residential properties were affected, and we extend our sincere thoughts and support to every individual, family and business impacted by this unfortunate incident,” the company said.

The company said for decades it has been built on the support of its employees, customers, suppliers and the wider Hispanic community. It said while the loss has been significant, its commitment to its employees, customers and Jamaica remains steadfast.

“Our immediate focus is on supporting those affected, working with the relevant authorities and putting the necessary arrangements in place to move forward responsibly,” the company added.

It said while its main branch on Hagley Park Road is temporarily down, its five branches will open on Saturday.
