No casualties in Glanvillia blaze

Fire officials are reporting no casualties from an early evening fire in Glanvillia on Monday.

Leading fireman at the Portsmouth fire station, Fitzgerald Terell, said a house often used by vagrants was damaged in the blaze.

No one was in the house at the time of the fire, Terell said.

He said the fire station received a call about the fire at about 5:20 pm on Monday. “Upon arrival there we met a single dwelling house fully ablaze and there was an adjacent build that got some damages to its plumbing and also the roof together with the guttering,” Terrel said.

He said the fire was quickly brought under control.

    The cause of the fire is a no brained. Paros cyan pay electricity bill so the fire was not due to electrical fault. Paros use fire regularly to take their crack. They are often too busy thinking of the next hit so they sometimes forget to extinguish the fire.
    Denny is in jail and Seco en coming back to DA so that can be ruled out. Lol. Just had to throw that in there for kicks and giggles.
