Nigel Bascus suffers fire loss

Political hopeful, Nigel Bascus, suffered significant losses on Tuesday when his
home was destroyed by a fire. His motor vehicle was also seriously damaged by
the blaze.
Bascus, a fisherman by trade, reported that his fishing gear also went up in the
blaze.
The St. John’s Fire Station reported receiving the call at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday
and responded immediately. However, they could do little to save the wooden
structure.
The fire tenders from St. John’s had support from the All Saints Fire Station and
local truckers who ensured a ready supply of water. Despite this community effort,
the fire loss was complete.
Bascus refers to himself as the ‘Missing Link – Voice of the people’.
An investigation is now underway to determine the cause of the fire.
It was the 203rd fire call received at St. John’s Fire Station so far, this year.
Overall, there have been 326 fire calls reported to the nation’s fire departments this
year.
