The Education Ministry has confirmed that a small fire occurred earlier this evening at the Westminster Secondary School, West Bank Demerara, following adverse weather conditions affecting parts of the country.
According to the Ministry, power fluctuations linked to the ongoing weather system caused a freezer in the school’s canteen to spark, resulting in the fire.
Officers from the Parfaite Harmonie Police Station responded and used two fire extinguisher balls previously supplied by the Guyana Fire Service to extinguish the flames. The fire was quickly brought under control.
