“The National Fire Authority (NFA ) came a little late, but we understand the delay because they were coming from town and there was also traffic,” he said.

Kritish Nand could only watch helplessly as a fire destroyed his family’s home in Kabisi, Sigatoka, on Saturday.

His eight-bedroom home was occupied by him, his mother and his nephew and niece.

“That was our family home, built by my father in the seventies. The house was concrete with a wooden roof. We could not save anything; the fire destroyed everything,” he said.

“The fire started around 6 pm, I was home with my mother I was sitting on the porch when I heard the glass breaking. When I went to check, the second room was already on fire, I didn’t smell any smoke, and I am not sure how the fire started.”
