(Kaieteur News) – A family of three is homeless after a fire of unknown origin tore through their two-storey wood-and-concrete house at Lot 172 Sunflower Circle, South Ruimveldt Park, on Thursday morning.

Occupant Lennox Samuels said the blaze broke out around 8:30 a.m., just as he was stepping out the door.

“I was just leaving when my girlfriend shouted, ‘Fire in the house!’” Samuels recalled.
