INVESTIGATIONS ARE continuing into a fire yesterday at a St Lawrence hotel complex still under construction.
Fire officials responded to around 8:30 a.m. to a call at the hotel, owned by Ocean Two Ltd.
A fire officer told the media there was damage to a stove, windows and some boxes but the fire was contained within ten minutes, causing only moderate damage.
One worker said he was in one of the rooms when he saw people running and shouting: “Bring a bucket,” but had no idea what was going on.
Eight fire officers, under the command of Station Officer Ormond Fenty, responded to the fire, utilising a fire tender from Worthing and another tender as well as an aerial appliance from Probyn Street Headquarters.
Site foreman with contractors Shelby Construction, Trevor Lucas, said construction on the hotel began in February 2008. It employs more than 100 workers. (CA)
