Fire Caused By Stealing Electricity

And there was a blaze this morning at mile 21 on the George Price Highway that the National Fire Service has deemed as a structural fire. A cement building with zinc roofing was completely destroyed, but fortunately, no one was at home during the incident.

Fire investigators have concluded that the cause was electrical since the occupants of the house were illegally accessing direct current from BEL's pole. Several popping sounds were heard coming from inside the building before the fire erupted.
