Fire Destroys Home on Boots Crescent

Just days before Christmas, a family has lost their home in a fire on Boots Crescent in Belize City. The fire broke out this morning and completely destroyed the house. 

No injuries were reported.

The homeowner, James Lamb, was not present during the fire. His neighbour, who has lived in the area for over 10 years, told News 5, “My daughter came in and told me the neighbour’s house was on fire. I looked outside and saw smoke pouring from the roof.” The resident said she immediately called 911 and then alerted nearby workers to inform the neighbour whose house was on fire.

The house destroyed was a high concrete and wooden house with zinc roofing. 

The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
