There was a fire in Belize City this afternoon. It happened at a two storey structure - made of wood and zinc on Green Street in that area.

The house - which was home to 5 - caught on fire this afternoon. We spoke to the homeowner who had lived there for over 20 years. He was at work a half mile away when they saw the fire in the distance.
