Quick response by the Fire Services yesterday saved the home of 72-year-old Phulmatie Ramnan Issarie, but could not save the woman's life. According to the woman's eldest son, Khimraj, around 9 am yesterday, residents of New Lane Street, off Don Miguel Road, El Socorro, saw the woman's house on fire and called the Fire Service. He said by the time a bucket brigade had been organised fire fighters arrived and quickly put out the fire.

Speaking to the media yesterday, Khimraj said his mother was to celebrate her 73rd birthday on February 26. He added that the family had made no specific plans as yet for her birthday celebrations. The mother of five, two boys and three girls, was a nice and fun-loving person, he said.

“She lived here with my younger brother Prakash, it was just him and her. He wasn’t at home at the time. She used to walk, she was healthy and strong and used to walk up and down. She was well-liked in the area and would talk to everybody, always interacting with the neighbours. She was a very family-oriented person,” Khimraj said. Khimraj said his mother's charred remains were found beneath a pile of rubble in the front bedroom, where fire officials believe the fire started.
