A devastating house fire in San Antonio Village, Toledo, resulted in the tragic death of 90-year-old Lucia Sho on the night of November 25, 2025. The incident occurred just before 11 p.m., but authorities were not alerted until nearly two hours later. Upon arrival, emergency responders found the home completely engulfed in flames, leaving only charred remnants behind. Neighbors attempted to rescue Lucia but were thwarted by the fire’s intensity. Preliminary investigations suggest the blaze originated in the bedroom and rapidly spread throughout the structure. While the exact cause remains undetermined, family members in Dangriga’s New Site Area revealed that the household frequently relied on a kerosene lamp for lighting, raising suspicions that it may have contributed to the disaster. Lucia’s granddaughter-in-law, who resides nearby, recounted hearing her cries before witnessing the catastrophic aftermath. The community’s leader expressed profound sorrow, describing her passing as a significant loss for San Antonio Village.
