An intense fire completely destroyed a four-bedroom house at Pointe Cabris, Praslin yesterday afternoon.

Despite the efforts of the fifteen-strong Seychelles Fire and Rescue Services Agency (SFRSA) crew, faced with intense flames that had taken over the whole residence and lack of water facilities in the area, it took at least an hour and a half to completely put out the flames.

As per Assistant Divisional Officer Antoine Souris, the SFRSA received the call at around 11.55am, it would seem from passersby or persons working in the area, and four of its vehicles were deployed, namely, two water tenders, a pick-up truck and an SUV.

The Seychelles Fire and Rescue Services Agency (SFRSA) is once again urging members of the public to take extra precaution to prevent fires during the festive season given the amount of decorative lights and electrical appliances that will be used.
