Sixteen computers and two printers were destroyed in a fire this morning (February 15), at the Fruitful Vale Community Learning Centre in Portland.

Reports from the Jamaica Fire Brigade are that the Buff Bay Fire Station responded to a fire call some time after midnight.

Member of Parliament for Portland Western Daryl Vaz says the loss will affect the community significantly, especially students.

The Portland Police are investigating to determine if the fire was an act of arson.
