A residential structure on Ambergris Caye sustained considerable damage during a Friday evening fire incident. The blaze erupted in a dwelling situated adjacent to the lagoon on the island’s western perimeter, prompting emergency response units to swiftly mobilize to the location.
Preliminary investigations suggest the conflagration originated within the porch section of the property before rapidly spreading to the rear portion of the home. Eyewitness documentation, circulated among local residents, captured intense flames consuming the back area of the building, illustrating the severity of the situation.
Emergency services, including a fully equipped fire suppression unit, were dispatched to the scene where firefighting personnel successfully contained and ultimately extinguished the blaze. While the property sustained significant damage, authorities confirmed no human casualties resulted from the incident. The homeowner was confirmed to be present on the island during the occurrence, with the property under professional management supervision.
Unconfirmed reports indicate a canine may have been present within the residence during the fire outbreak, though the animal’s status and potential rescue remain unspecified. Official damage assessment reports are pending release by investigating authorities, though preliminary information confirms the property was covered by insurance provisions.
