Two left homeless after St Lucy house fire

Two people lost their home and all their possessions in a fire at Checker Hall Development, St Lucy, today.

The homeowners declined to speak, but a neighbour told The Nation she heard an explosion. She called the Barbados Fire Service, which dispatched one tender and nine officers to the scene.

Despite the efforts of the community, nothing was saved as the wooden home was quickly engulfed. (Nation News)
