A young man living by himself at Malifa was gutted yesterday when he arrived home from work to find his house completed destroyed by fire. “I’m homeless,” he told the Sunday Samoan, asking if his name could be withheld. “I simply don't know what to do now. I’ve lost everything.”
The fire ripped through his house late yesterday afternoon, gutting everything in it. Although the Fire and Emergency Services Authority arrived immediately, there was little they could do.

Asked if anyone was at home, the man said no. While he has relatives who are in Samoa for the Jehovah’s Witness Faith’s conference, he said they were out of the house when the fire started.
“So there was no one here,” he said.
When the Sunday Samoan arrived at the scene, two fire trucks were just leaving.
According to people in the area, the house was on fire between 3.30 and 4pm.
As for the homeowner, he was simply speechless. “As you can see, there is nothing left,” he said.
“Right now, my thoughts have run away from me. This is devastating.”
