A fire destroyed three houses at Melajo Junction, Vega de Oropouche, along the Toco Main Road this morning.
No one was injured, but three families have been displaced.
The fire reportedly began in one of the buildings, and strong winds caused it to spread rapidly to two nearby homes.
Fire officers from the Sangre Grande Fire Station responded and were able to prevent the blaze from spreading to additional houses.
The cause of the fire has not yet been determined, as fire investigators are expected to conduct inquiries.
Councillor for the area, Daryl Mohan, visited the affected families, expressed his concern over the incident, and pledged assistance.
