NASSAU, BAHAMAS — A massive blaze razed a small shanty town village in the Carmichael Road area yesterday ripping through 20 structures and displacing some 50 people.

Firefighters were called to the fire at Pink Meadow Road off Ballot Road shortly after 10am, when residents claim plumes of smoke began to rise from a wooden structure near the front of the unregulated community.

Chief Superintendent Chrislyn Skippings said firefighters were able to contain the blaze to prevent further spread within 45 minutes; however, butane tanks scattered throughout the village continued to explode as officials briefed the media around noon.
