A guest house on Quamina Street in Georgetown was completely destroyed by an early morning fire on Wednesday, leaving significant damage and prompting an investigation by authorities.
Reports indicate that the blaze engulfed the Quamina Guest House, located at Lot 126 Quamina Street, in the early hours of the day. The building, which also housed small businesses on its ground floor, was consumed by flames, disrupting operations and causing extensive losses.
Firefighters were dispatched to the scene and worked to bring the situation under control, though the structure was reportedly gutted by the time the fire was contained.
