UPDATE: Fire completely guts 2 businesses; scorches 1
By the time Virgin Islands News Online arrived on the scene firefighters had contained the fire and had been seen dousing small blazes. The fire reportedly started sometime before 4 am today.
Senior Police officers in the scene confirmed to VINO that no one was hurt or was in the building at the time of the blaze.
The owner of the building which housed the businesses, Bettito Frett, speaking to Virgin Islands News Online on the scene of the fire, said that he received a call around 4 am that his place was ablaze. He said that by the time he reached there the building was totally engulfed in flames.
When this news site spoke to him he could not say whether anyone was in the building neither could he ascertain he amount of losses he suffered as a result of the fire.
Frett said that he was puzzled as to the cause of the fire that destroyed the building housing two business establishments: the Tree House night club and a restaurant called Spaghetti Junction. A section of the building also housed the Little Switzerland business establishment and this received scorches from the fire but was not destroyed.
