A massive bush fire threatened homes at a Freeport subdivision late Monday evening and continued to burn on Tuesday, causing poor visibility for motorists travelling along Coral Road.
According to reports, the fire started sometime around 4.15pm on Monday in bushes adjacent to the subdivision near the St Jude’s Medical Centre.
A fire unit was dispatched to the area, and firemen worked into the late evening and early morning hours to contain the blaze.
The blaze was finally brought under control at 9am, but was constantly monitored by firemen throughout the day.
“It is still not extinguished, but it is not causing as much of a threat as yesterday,” said a police officer with the fire division. “We are asking motorists to be cautious when driving in that area.”
