Family Loses their home in fire

Over the weekend in Belize City a thick cloud of smoke spread from a property near the Haulover Bridge and drifted into parts of the City at the start of the weekend. The fire broke just before eight o’clock on Friday and quickly destroyed the building, which was owned by Liston McCord, who was extradited to the US over eight years ago. The house was unoccupied at the time, except for two pit bulls on guard. Firemen were on the defensive soon enough but could not contain the inferno. According to the caretaker, hundreds of thousands of dollars went up in the smoke.
