Three more persons lose home in fire

Two recent fires in Saint Lucia have destroyed the homes of six individuals. The Saint Lucia Fire Service said that the Castries Fire Station received a call on May 16 at about 2:37 am, informing them of a house fire at La Clery. A wooden dwelling structure —home to three individuals and measuring 29×19 ft — was completely destroyed.

The Fire Service says that the water supply in the area posed an issue in firefighting efforts initially, but personnel were able to successfully contain and extinguish the fire. “All individuals were accounted for and no one was reported injured,” the Fire Service stated. Another unoccupied dwelling structure sustained significant damage.
