In a fortunate turn of events, residents of Falmouth, Trelawny, Jamaica, expressed relief on Wednesday morning after discovering that an elderly, physically challenged woman was not present in her home at 3 Queen Street when it was engulfed by flames. The fire, which erupted around 8:00 am, completely destroyed the structure, leaving firefighters to battle the blaze of unknown origin. Remarkably, the woman had been relocated prior to the incident as a precautionary measure ahead of Hurricane Melissa, a decision that potentially saved her life. While the estimated cost of the damage remains undetermined, the incident underscores the ongoing challenges faced by emergency responders in the region. Firefighters, supported by the Jamaica Defence Force, continue to clear roads blocked by debris in the aftermath of the powerful hurricane, highlighting the dual threats of natural disasters and unforeseen emergencies.
