Fire destroys home on Nurse Seay Street

Just after two this morning, residents of Nurse Seay Street in Belize City got a whiff of smoke that sent them into the streets. Once there, they saw house number eight engulfed in flames. The Fire Department doused the blaze before the flames could spread to other homes. The department says their investigation into the cause of the fire has been hindered because they cannot locate the homeowners. Apparently, as firefighters drenched the scene in water, police detained the couple found in the house, Rudolph Wade and Marsha Castro. Neighbors told News Five they heard the couple arguing just before they saw fire. The Fire Department says it hopes to contact the couple over the weekend to find out what happened.
