A family in Kilcoy, Berbice is grieving the loss of a 45-year-old father who died in a house fire, while his nine-year-old son escaped and ran to alert relatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The charred remains of Thamsingh Rampersaud, a bell loader operator, were discovered inside his Lot 9, Second Street, Kilcoy home after firefighters brought the blaze under control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fire reportedly broke out around 18:30 hours on Sunday with firefighters arriving to find the building completely engulfed in flames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rampersaud\u2019s brother, Cheenarine, told reporters that relatives made desperate attempts to reach him, but the intense heat and flames prevented them from entering the burning building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMe always focus\u00a0seh\u00a0a bed\u00a0wah\u00a0he a sleep pan, a bed deh straight pan a window\u00a0suh. Deh me a focus seh me can get in deh\u00a0fuh\u00a0see am.

The family said the 9-year-old child reported that an electrical fan had sparked a fire which spread to the bed while his father was asleep. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, investigators have not officially established the cause of the blaze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Rampersaud\u2019s 73-year-old mother,\u00a0Ajumatie Prithtipaul\u00a0described her son as respectful and caring, saying he never spoke to her in a disrespectful manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the family comes to terms with the loss, attention is now turning to the care and well-being of the young survivor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investigations into the circumstances surrounding the fire continue.<\/p>\n\n\n
