MORE than 1,000 Haitian have been left homeless after an early morning fire ripped through their shanty town on Fire Trail Road on Wednesday.
Consuming almost every structure, the blaze is believed to have destroyed more than 400 homes.
Some of the affected residents were reportedly residents of Mackey Yard, another Haitian village that was destroyed by fire in December.
Many Bahamian residents who lived nearby the Haitian village scrambled to secure their own homes. They sprayed water on their roof tops and removed gas tanks from the sides of their houses.
