Written byShanice Gibbs
A call is being made for the Government and relevant agencies to urgently assess the damage associated with yesterday’s fire along Hagley Park Road in St. Andrew, and provide assistance to affected residents, workers and business owners.
The blaze, which first erupted at Superior Auto Parts around midday, reportedly spread to nearby buildings and homes.
Up to late last evening, firefighters were working to extinguish the blaze.
Member of Parliament for St. Andrew East Central Dennis Gordon described the incident as tragic, as several people have been displaced from their homes and jobs.
Mr. Gordon is stressing the need for a recovery response.
He also signalled his intention to convene a meeting with business operators to discuss a possible insurance policy that would provide protection in the event of a similar disaster.
