Fire has destroyed 2 structures in the new site area of Dangriga. IT happened early this morning when a fire at a residential structure jumped over to a neighboring medical clinic owned by Dr Arana. And the value of the losses is estimated to be over one hundred thousand dollars.
By the time fire personnel arrived on the scene, nothing could be saved, and the Doctor's wife, who gave an off camera interview claims that the fire may have been man made when a stone mattress was set on fire.
Voice of: Iandra Arana, Wife of Fire Victim
"So the building is located on number 1 plum street this morning I was awoken by the police officers at my residence which is one citron, sorry Caludio Serrano street in the new site area, I was awoken by the police officers who informed me that the building is on fire, my husband's clinic is on fire and when I got there the neighbours house was completely burned and I got to understand that the guy that was living in the house had lit a sponge, I'm not sure if it's his mattress or what it is but a sponge got lit in that house and got engulfed in the fire and just because it's very close to each other, just the edge the roof part of my husband's clinic started to burn and by the time the police came the fire truck came and they came with a very small truck that went empty as usual and had to get filled back. The whole building was damaged at the end of that fire by the time they managed to get it out.The whole clinic building and the neighbours house was completely damaged too. The clinic is a three bedroom structure, zinc roof, the siding is zinc too and the rest of the building is completely wooden so it was completely damaged it's a three bedroom building it was fully equipped with ultrasound machines all these machinery used because it is a OBGYN clinic, our loss is estimated over 100k."
