Fire destroys O.W. furniture factory

Story PictureIt’s not clear what started a fire at Loskot’s Hardware Furniture Company in Orange Walk this morning, but the blaze kept staff and fire-fighters busy for several hours. Our media affiliate in Orange Walk, Centaur Cable Network, was on the scene and provided the following footage.

Omar Delgado, Employee, Loskot’s
?I was trying my best to out the fire, but the thing was difficult. The fire was so difficult that you didn?t even know what you can do, so I try my best to help everyone. The fire engine men had a hose that was wiggling about because of the pressure and I try to hold and help everyone, but the hose just lift and hit me on my hand and hurt me and knock my friend on the stomach. We try to do our best.?

The owner of the furniture factory, Joe Loskot, told News Five he is still assessing the damage and cannot comment at this time.
