Fire in Barrack street may have been caused by negligence.

Georgetown: Fire investigators are saying this morning that the Easter day fire at a condemned building in Barrack street may have resulted from an unattended kerosene stove that caught fire and spread rapidly on the building deemed as a fire hazard. According to reports the building was not wired since it was condemned some years ago by the City Council for demolition. However the scores of families that occupied the property were given many notices to move. Yesterday many organisations turned up to help the homeless many of them children. The Government is working on an emergency effort to assist the families with affordable house lots. Many such buildings exist in Georgetown that have condemned for demolition, but the same problem of occupants prevail, as City officials desperately try to have them removed. This situation has residents in nearby proximity to the buildings very concerned, since it poses a risk to their homes and lives.
