Residents of the Virgin Islands, on Monday, 26^th November after 3:00p.m., a fire broke out at the incinerator located in Pockwood Pond, Tortola. The Fire and Rescue Department arrived promptly on the scene where the fire was contained and extinguished. Although the cause is still under investigation, I can say that eye witness accounts are alleging that a possible gas tank explosion travelled inside the area setting the building and contents on fire. I am grateful to report that no one was injured.

Chief Fire Officer Mr. Zebalon McLean has said that communities on the western end of the Territory are not in any danger with the fire at the incinerator at Pock Wood Pond.
