Prime Minister Mark Phillips confirmed the safe evacuation, while the Human Services Ministry stepped in to relocate the kids to the Mahaica Children’s Home. With temporary housing secured, authorities now focus on uncovering the blaze’s cause. Staff recounted the chaos, including breaking down a gate to get everyone out — with director Kenneth Finlayson hailed for his calm leadership, even disconnecting power before evacuating. Though the home had recently passed a fire safety check, no electrical fault is suspected yet. Finlayson stressed that while buildings can be rebuilt, lives are irreplaceable — and with over 300 children helped since 2001 and an expansion project underway, hope remains strong.
