Officers attached to the Police and the Fire Services are investigating the circumstances surrounding a fire in Cashew Hill that completely destroyed the interior of a plywood house.

The owner of the 18 x 26 two-bedroom structure, 42-year-old Orin Paul reported that he awoke from the smell of smoke inside the house, but paid little or no attention to it as he was hustling to get to work.

At the same time, 65-year-old Kingsley Henry, who shared the home with Paul, reported that he was awakened by the heat coming from inside the house and thought the fan had been unplugged. On checking to see whether or not that was the case, he discovered that the house was engulfed in flames.
