Houses destroyed by fire

Bridgetown.

Police and fire officials are  trying to determine the cause of a blaze at Belleplaine, St. Andrew that destroyed three houses.

Two others were also slightly damaged in the fire and it was a close call for other residents nearby who suffered from cracked windows and other fire damage.

 Several  residents in the area have complained about the length of time it took for fire officials to arrive at the scene.

It has prompted a call from MP for St. Andrew, George Payne for consideration to be given for the establishment of a fire station in Belleplaine.
