(CNS): The Cayman Islands Fire Service is currently investigating the source of a blaze at a house off the Queens Highway in the very early hours Tuesday. An RCIPS spokesperson said that officers who were on patrol in the district of East End spotted flames in shrubbery along the highway at about 1:30am (21 July,). The police went to investigate and found that a house on Sunnyfield Road was on fire.

The police contacted the emergency services and the owner of the house, who was not there, was alerted. He was able to confirm that no one was inside and, as a result, no one was hurt in the fire, which was tackled by fire crews.

Meanwhile, an electrical fault was said to be the cause of a fire at a George Town restaurant at the weekend. The China Village restaurant at the Plaza Venezia in George Town was badly damaged by the blaze that ignited Saturday morning but no one was hurt as the restaurant was closed.
