Residents near burning building urged to evacuate temporarily

Divisional Officer of the Barbados Fire Service Tremelle Perch said three fire tenders from the Bridgetown and Arch Hall fire stations responded to the blaze which started around 10:35 a.m. “It is mostly under control at the moment, but we are just giving it a few more minutes before we can say that it is definitely under control,” he said. Meanwhile, residents in the area who said this was about the seventh time a fire had occurred at the abandoned building in recent times, called on authorities to demolish derelict structures, particularly in The City. (AH)]]>
