Bush fire destroys home in St Mary
A 47-year-old St Mary labourer is now homeless after his 2-bedroom house was destroyed by fire on Friday.
Reports are that around 2 pm, fire was seen coming from the semi-concrete board structure occupied by Selvin Cameron.
Residents reportedly raised an alarm and attempted to out the blaze.
The Annotto Bay Fire Department was contacted.
Cameron was not at home when the fire started.
Unconfirmed reports are that a garbage heap was lit, and, when the wind direction changed, led to a bush fire which spread to Cameron’s house.
The Annotto Bay police are investigating.
