A SMALL three room, wooden structure was completely destroyed following a fire at a shanty town off Carmichael Road yesterday morning.
Fire Services Chief Supt Walter Evans said the cause of the blaze has yet to be determined, but investigations are continuing at the Montgomery Street area.
He said: “Sometime before 8am we received the call to report to the shanty town which is off Carmichael Road. When officers got to the scene, they met a small structure completely engulfed in fire. The fire was extinguished but the structure was completely destroyed.”
Mr Evans said police were told that one person lived in the destroyed home. No one was injured in the incident.
Earlier this month more than 150 people were displaced after a fire devastated the Abaco shanty town, Sandy Bank.
