AN early-morning fire at a warehouse in El Socorro on Wednesday left several workers unemployed and nearby homes damaged.

Fire officials were alerted to the blaze at Chrome Furnishers Ltd at 5.55 am.

By the time they arrived, the warehouse fire had spread to nearby houses and officers were on the scene up to 10 am trying to extinguish the blaze.

Resident Elisha Bocas told the media many of the homeowners were lucky to be alive, as they were asleep when the blaze started.
