MONTEGO BAY, St James — A mother and her six-year-old son are now homeless after a devastating fire destroyed their home in the Estuary housing scheme on Tuesday morning.
The fire, which started shortly after 7:00 a.m., caused major damage to the structure and its contents. Fortunately, both occupants managed to escape the blaze without injury, but the family lost most of their belongings.
The Jamaica Fire Brigade reported that they received a distress call at 7:34 a.m. and quickly dispatched two units from the Montego Bay fire station. Firefighters were able to contain the blaze, preventing it from spreading to neighbouring homes, but not before the fire had extensively damaged the house.
Fire investigators have since been deployed to determine the cause of the blaze.
No estimate of the damage has been released, and the displaced family is reportedly seeking assistance as recovery efforts begin.
