Fire Destroys Belize City Building

A fire broke out early this morning at a two-storey wooden building located at the intersection of Victoria and Castle streets. The blaze started around 6:00 a.m., and fire crews responded and managed to extinguish the flames shortly after.

Footage from the scene shows the building destroyed by the fire. Reports indicate that the property was abandoned and had no access to electricity.

Neighbours reported seeing a squatter occasionally entering the building. Fire officials suspect the fire may have been caused by something brought into the property.

No injuries have been reported at this time. Investigations are ongoing to determine the exact cause of the fire.
