A family of seven is now homeless after a fire at Indian Ground, St Peter, gutted their home this afternoon.
Troy Gill, his wife Rosita and their five children, ranging in age from 16 to six, lost all of their possessions in the blaze which also damaged the adjacent house.
Gill, who occupied the house for the past 16 years, said he was at work when he received the call that his home was on fire. Two fire tenders and five fire officers from the St James and Arch Hall stations under the command of Station Officer Henderson Maynard responded to the fire .
