13 people are now homeless after a fire destroyed their house at Vatoa Road in Narere last night.

The fire started from the bottom flat which was occupied by the tenants and spread to the top flat occupied by the home owner.

The National Fire Authority says firefighters fought fiercely and were able to control the fire from spreading to other adjacent buildings.

It is believed everyone was asleep when the fire started.

According to the NFA, this is the fourth fire incident this month. 28 people have been left homeless after these four fire incidents.
