Eldridgeville Family Home Burns

Orin Smith

Aside from the two house fires in the city, there was another blaze, but this time in Punta Gorda.  A small family home was completely destroyed around four on Monday morning. There was no one at home at the time and fire officials say they are yet to determine a cause. Orin Smith of the National Fire Service tells us more:

“The Punta Gorda Branch of the National Fire Service was notified of a structural fire which had occurred on the second of April around four p.m. in the village of Elridge. It was a sixteen by eighteen wooden bungalow structure. No one was at home at the time of the incident. The investigation is still ongoing. So, I have no information as to the cause of that fire.”
