Fire Destroys House in Belize City 

On Wednesday morning, a wooden house in the St. Martin’s area of Belize City caught fire. The house was destroyed. Although no injuries were reported, the incident left the family with no shelter, food, or clothing. The family which includes three children continues to seek assistance.

On Facebook, KJ Trujeque called on members of the public to assist the family. She said, “My babysitter’s home caught fire today and she lost absolutely everything. Asking anyone with an open and kind heart to help her out in any way possible. She has a 1 year old baby girl and two boys; 4 and 6 years old. If you have clothes, shoes or anything that can be used in the household that you no longer want and would like to pass on to her or the kids it would be greatly appreciated. If you would like to make a monetary donation or even assist with groceries it is welcomed.”

The cause of the fire is still unknown.
