House Fire: Anchorage Lane St George’s

At around midnight today [June 6] there was a fire at an Anchorage Lane, St George’s residence. Multiple fire trucks, firefighters as well as Police responded.

We have limited details at this juncture, but understand there was a fair amount of smoke and smoke damage, and that no one was seriously injured in the fire. We hope to update this post with official information from the Bermuda Fire Service as early as we can, which will likely be Monday.
