A LINDENER was made homeless after fire burnt his wooden house to ashes on Thursday afternoon.

The fire on the lot 774 South Amelia’s Ward, Mackenzie, Linden home started around 13:00hours, and within minutes, it was flattened.

Kennett Alexander, who lived at his house for almost two years, was not at home at the time of the blaze.

Alexander, who was in disbelief, told this newspaper that he lost “everything”.

A resident Brian William, who was assisting others in weeding the yard, said a fire was lit to burn a heap of grass but it spread to the house.

“We light a fire and after we out it down it start back,” said William.

This newspaper understands that the fire also damaged two nearby houses.

The fire service was contacted but by the time firefighters arrived, the house was already gutted. No one was injured.
