VIDEO: House on Fire in Bendals

Published

A fire broke out Friday at an unoccupied house along Bendals Main Road, reducing the structure to rubble despite efforts by firefighters to contain the blaze.

According to reports, the unoccupied home was filled with building materials belonging to the adopted son of the property owner. He had reportedly planned to use the materials to construct his own home.

    The home was occupied. So it means the structure is what was destroyed. No valuables inside. That is something to give praise for
