The gasoline instead of kerosene theory is one the Commissioner of Police agreed with this afternoon when he weighed in on the Neuland fire.
Here's what he told Courtney Menzies about the possibility of charges for negligence.
Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police
"The fire in Neuland last night or yesterday, what we have gathered is that they may have been dealing with a lamp or something to that effect and they believe that they were putting kerosene in the lamp when in fact it may have been gasoline and when they lit it, it blew up, causing injuries to the individuals, I think one person passed away. Police are still looking into that matter, fire department is also involved and then we'll see what the outcome of the fire investigation is going to be."
Courtney Menzies:
"Is there any possibility of some type of charge, maybe even negligence?"
Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police
"At this time we cannot say, we need to await the report from the fire department and then see how we go from there."
