The Eleutheran Newspaper has learnt that  the fire was discovered by a motorist
driving south on the highway at around 1:55 a.m. Initially, he reportedly
observed a small fire on the "Meter Box" and went on to the Police Station in
Hatchet Bay. When the motorists returned to the scene with police, the now
raging fire had spread to the roof. 
Authorities have confirmed that the one storey  60' x 35' stone structure and
its contents, owned by Stephen Cancino,  were insured. 
The building had last been secured by Mr. Cancino on Sunday evening at about
10:00pm and there was no one inside at the time of the fire.
It is the third major business in Northern Eleuthera to have been extensively
destroyed by fire this year.
