Lucky False Fire Alarm
posted (June 22, 2010)
There was a major fire alarm in the city this morning when word went out that La Popular Bakery on Logwood Street was on fire.

It happened at around 11:30 am - and three fire trucks responded immediately. But it was contained very quickly. Management refused to comment but the firemen confirmed that there was no fire, just a lot of smoke. Kenneth Mortis of the Fire Department told us he speculates that it was grease buildup that caused smoke to stream out of one of the industrial ovens. It was easily controlled and quickly contained. By this afternoon, the bakery was open for business.

According to the firemen, in 15 years operating at that location, La Popular had not had a fire. Bakery fires have an unfortunate history in Belize City because of the large number of accelerants in the area and the industrial stores of butane.

And after the break - we'll tell you what killed that 20 year old who fell from her verandah to her death.....
