Fire at Preconco

Officials at Preconco Limited were busy assessing the impact of a fire that ravaged the office of the main building at Lears Road, Jackman, St Michael on Thursday night.

A Barbados TODAY team was not allowed to enter the compound on Friday morning, but several company personnel were on site surveying the damage.

Efforts to reach Preconco officials were unsuccessful.

However, fire officials disclosed on Friday that they received a call about the blaze around 11:44 p.m. the previous night and the first team arrived on the scene within 15 minutes.

A 23-member crew which included Acting Chief Fire Officer Henderson Patrick, two divisional officers, two station officers and two leading officers responded to the call.

Investigations are continuing. (BT)
