A fire that occurred in the early hours last Sunday morning has left a family of three in the north homeless.
Leman King, his wife Rhonda and their daughter Sandra Scantlebury, all of Mile-and-a-Quarter, St Peter, were all at home when the blaze started.
King received burns to the hands and face while Scantlebury also received burns to the face.
The injured were taken to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital by ambulance for medical attention and were later discharged.
Two fire tenders responded to the fire which presented a challenge because of the narrow roads. (RL)
