AN old wooden structure was gutted by fire on July 11 in San Fernando, but the quick response of officers from the Mon Repos Fire Station prevented the flames from destroying an unoccupied house next door.

For the past few years, the now-destroyed house on Rushworth Street, next to Stylus Furniture Ltd, had been frequented by street dwellers. The neighbouring house sustained scorch damage.

No injuries were reported, and the cause of the fire is yet to be determined.
