Smoke hits homes from bush fire

PARTS of western New Providence were under a pall of smoke last night as firefighters monitored a bush fire which broke out yesterday morning.

Residents of Lyford Cay and nearby communities reported the air was thick with drifting smoke from the fire, which appeared to be emanating from somewhere behind the Old Fort Bay shopping centre.

Fire Chief Assistant Superintendent Walter Evans said the fire was not a threat to property but was being monitored. He said that one truck had been dispatched earlier to tackle it.
