Quick action by relatives and neighbours helped save a San Francique home from being destroyed by fire on Friday, but two brothers who live there are now appealing for help to repair their home.

The blaze broke out just after 5 pm at the house on Pluck Road, San Francique, Penal, where brothers Balkaran Mungroo, 40, and Ricardo, 30, live.

Balkaran Mungroo, who suffers from a nervous condition and does not work, said he was outside planting pumpkin seeds when the fire started.
