By Staff Editor Sat, September 19 2026, 2:03 AM GMT-4

The Guyana Fire Service (GFS) responded yesterday to a fire at Lot 11 Massacre Street, Track A Lusignan, East Coast Demerara.

Upon arrival, the GFS said that firefighters found that the building was fully engulfed in flames, with the fire threatening a nearby structure. Water Tenders #125, #131, #123 from Mahaica, Campbellville and Melanie Fire Station responded.

Through swift and coordinated firefighting efforts, the blaze was brought under control and prevented from spreading further, the GFS said. Unfortunately, the building and its contents were completely destroyed. The western wall of the nearby building was severely damaged.
