“The Dangriga Fire Department responded to a structural fire in the New Site area, Ramos Road, where they observed the wooden bungalow structure engulfed in flames. That fire was extinguished. While the information was a bit sketchy, we learned that no one occupied the structure at the time, even though it was registered to a teacher, Ms Nadine. We learned that that fire started as a result of electrical fault, however for further confirmation, the team is still on the ground trying to confirm what led the house fire to be an electrical flaw.”
