San Pedro Lions Club Organises Donation Drive for Fire Victims

The San Pedro Lions Club is organising a donation drive to assist 12 families that were left homeless after a fire early Sunday morning in San Pedro Town. The fire destroyed two apartment buildings and a garage on Sea Star Street.

In a Facebook post, the Lions Club urged community support, stating, “The San Pedro Lions Club is organising a donation drive to help the 12 families affected by the recent fire… Household items can be dropped off, but only clothes in good condition and good items will be accepted. Monetary donations will also be accepted.”

As previously reported, police rescued four children trapped inside while firefighters battled the flames. No injuries were reported.

Resident Fermin Witzil, 40, claimed that Angela Tun, a Belizean-Mexican national, had previously threatened harm. Tun is now a person of interest in the investigation.

The fire also damaged an SUV and motorcycle parked near the buildings.

Authorities have yet to determine the exact cause of the fire.
