Fire Destroys 5 Houses in Hanover, Leaving Over 20 People Homeless | News | CVMTV

Fire destroyed five homes, leaving approximately twenty people homeless. The affected buildings, consisting of adjoining board and concrete structures in Pond Piece, were engulfed in flames on Thursday afternoon. According to victims interviewed by CVM News, the fire was reportedly started by a boy residing in one of the houses with his mother. The fire ignited shortly after 1:30 pm and rapidly spread to all five dwellings. While some victims managed to salvage some of their belongings, frustration grew among residents as three non-functional fire hydrants forced firefighters to abandon their efforts and seek water elsewhere during the blaze. Responding to the emergency, two units from the Lucea and Montego Bay fire departments successfully extinguished the fire, but not before the homes were completely destroyed. CVM News plans to follow up with the victims in upcoming newscast. _____ We're on the scene, bringing you the latest, keeping you up to date on News, Entertainment, Business & Sports!
