Five homeless after fire destroyed Berbice houses

Crabwood Creek ,Berbice:  Fire fighters this morning determined that a fire which destroyed two homes last night had an electrical origin.  The fire which started around midnight and lasted till about 1:20am today left at least five persons homeless. The origin of the fire had some amount of controversy as rumors spread throughout Berbice that one of the houses was set ablaze because one of the homeowners is associated with the Alliance for Change party (AFC) and his affiliation led to the home being set on fire by PPP supporters. However, the man and his family denies this claim, stating that the findings of the firefighters are conclusive.
