Belize City experienced a challenging day on Thursday, October 30, 2025, as two separate fires broke out, causing damage to both a residential property and a local business. The first incident occurred in the early hours of the morning on Caesar Ridge Road. Clifton Flores, a 56-year-old homeowner, had left his residence just moments before the fire erupted. Upon his return, he was met with the distressing sight of his home engulfed in flames. Firefighters were promptly on the scene and managed to contain the fire. Thankfully, no one was inside the house at the time, and the cause of the fire remains under investigation. Later that evening, around 9:36 p.m., emergency services were called to 303 Deli on Logwood Street. The establishment, owned by 44-year-old Caroline Jones, had been closed for approximately two hours before it was discovered ablaze. Firefighters successfully extinguished the fire, and no injuries were reported. Authorities are currently investigating both incidents to determine the origins and circumstances surrounding these unfortunate events.
