A devastating fire on Wednesday afternoon has left an elderly St. John’s resident without a home. The single-residence wooden house on North Street was completely consumed by flames around noon.
Firefighters arrived on the scene within six minutes, but despite their rapid response, the structure could not be saved and was reduced to ashes.
The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.
Oh lord. I pray the government steps in on this
Oh wow! So sad
Wow..I hope someone can help him. Most old people don’t have much to go with
Isnt it illegal to have these homes so close to eachother
So sorry for his loss
Lord have mercy, that poor old man. I hope the community can rally around him.
