Some residents of Rae Town in Kingston were awakened by a fire this morning, which gutted a dwelling inside a yard in the community.
The incident happened shortly before 6:00 a.m., close to the lifting of the daily nationwide curfew to allow residents to attend to their personal business.
A 12-year-old boy was seen trying to salvage items from the structure, fenced by rusting zinc. He was among a family of eight who lived in the yard.
Fire fighters responded to the incident and extinguished the blaze.
