So sad. Apparently the fire crew could not open the fire hydrant.

old wood building its hard to control these fire 

Before 1996, I used to process my roll films at RISANS in that building. After I sold my Russian-made ZENIT camera, I bought a battery-powered Japanese KONICA camera at RISANS. I remember Yussuff Sankar as a tall weighty guy.

Incidentally, according to one news report, Moses and Sita Nagamootoo were evacuated from their official resistance which stands next to the Sankar building. Firemen doused Moses' home to prevent it burning too.

Looks like the PNC bais at it again, they even trying to bun out de dirty pnc indians who live next door.

A 77-year-old businessman is suspected to have been burnt alive early Monday morning after the building which housed his living quarters and two businesses on Main and Lamaha Street, Georgetown mysteriously caught alight.

Suspected dead is Yusuf Sankar.

One of Sankar’s sons had reportedly insisted that his father was in the burning building.

Based on information received, a body suspected to that of Sankar was removed after fire fighters contained the fire, which reportedly started around 5-6 am
