A Princes Town community is mourning the death of a 67-year-old grandfather after a blaze destroyed two homes and a woodwork factory on Saturday night, reigniting calls for a functioning fire station in the district.
The fire, which started around 7.30 pm at Third Company Village, Indian Walk, claimed the life of Gopaul “Figgie” Ramnanan, who was burnt beyond recognition. Ramnanan, who walked with a cane, was alone when the flames consumed the wooden house he occupied. His charred body was later found on his bed.
