A Princes Town man is now home­less af­ter a fire de­stroyed his home on Mon­day af­ter­noon.

Fi­del McLean of Rail­way Road was not at home when the fire broke out some­time be­fore 4 p.m. De­spite his neigh­bours’ ef­forts to ex­tin­guish the blaze, the house was com­plete­ly de­stroyed.

The ply­wood and gal­vanise struc­ture, val­ued at $20,000, had no elec­tric­i­ty sup­ply. The cause of the fire re­mains un­known.

In­ves­ti­ga­tions are con­tin­u­ing.
