Firefighters are currently battling to control a fire of yet to be determined origin at the popular G3 building, located at Plantation Diamond, East Bank Demerara.

While there are reports which suggest that the fire may be electrical in origin, Chief Fire Officer, Mr Marlon Gentle, a few moments ago told the Guyana Standard that this cannot be determined until after the conflagration is controlled and the area is safe enough for an investigation to be conducted.

According to reports reaching this publication, signs of the fire were first noticed in a gym housed in the top flat of the three-storey building. The building, from all indications, has been completely destroyed.

The G3 building has the status of being the first shopping mall established in the growing Diamond Housing development. The building accommodates multiple businesses, including a night club, pharmacy, gym, lottery outlet, and an insurance company office, among others.

Guyana Standard will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available.
