Fire Devastates Shop and Homes | Trinidad and Tobago News

A devastating fire tore through Piccadily Street early yesterday, obliterating an electronics repair shop and two homes—though miraculously no one was injured. Owner Michael Edwards escaped unscathed but lost four beloved dogs in the blaze. Firefighters arrived just after midnight to find flames already raging across the two-story building housing his business and his residence, plus a nearby single-story home. A third house suffered broken windows and roof damage. Overhead power lines complicated firefighting efforts. While the cause remains under investigation, locals suspect fireworks set off by children triggered the inferno. The estimated damage tops $1.7 million, and telecom services are still being restored. The MP for Port-of-Spain South has stepped in to support affected families and voiced concern over reckless fireworks use.
