A two-flat corrugated iron and timber house and a hybrid car were also destroyed at Lovu seaside in Lautoka yesterday.

It is understood the house was rented to two families and a total of five people have been left homeless after the incident.

NFA Chief Executive, Puamau Sowane says most residential fire incidents occur when homes are vacant and this is a great concern.

The National Fire Authority is urging Fijians to be alert with their surroundings and immediately call the toll-free fire emergency number 910 if they see any suspicious smoke or fire.

The NFA will be carrying out its investigations into the fire incidents to ascertain the causes.
