A 74-YEAR-OLD PENSIONER, who was about to go to bed, had to rush out of his burning home on the night of December 9 in Mon Repos when a fire broke out and quickly spread.

The fire has left him and five other people, including a child, homeless.

The fire occurred around 9 pm at Moody Stuart Street, where homeowner Henry Dick, who lived alone on the first floor of the wooden structure, lost everything.
