A man is in police custody following a house fire of “suspicious origin”.

It occurred around 10 a.m. yesterday, destroying a housing unit at Eden Lodge Housing Area, St Michael, belonging to Eileen Foster, who was not at home at the time.  

Two other units were damaged by the fire.

One of the affected residents, Sonia Holder, said she was at work when she received the call. She praised the quick action of the fire service.

“The fire truck saved me and I thank them for reaching here on time,” she said.
