Family still reeling from Superior inferno

THE massive August 27 blaze at Superior Parts Limited on Hagley Park Road, St Andrew, left billions of dollars in losses in its wake and a nearby family traumatised by an ordeal they are still struggling to shake two weeks later.

In an exclusive interview with the Jamaica Observer, Wayne Campbell, who lives with his elderly parents on Macarthur Avenue in a house directly behind the Superior Parts property, explained that he was grateful the fire did not spread to their house. But while the family escaped the worst-case scenario of losing their home, Campbell said they were not spared the frightening effects of the inferno.

He shared that since the blaze, life has changed in a negative way for him, his mother Vinnette Campbell who is in her 80s, and his 92-year-old father Fitzroy Campbell.
