A Dededo man is living in a tent after a fire ripped through his house early this morning. Guam firefighters were at the scene of the overnight blaze on Chalan Ibang. The resident of that home, a 48-year-old man, declined to be interviewed on camera. He told PNC that he and his girlfriend were coming home when they found the house and two vehicles in the yard on fire. He called 911 at around 3:15 a.m. and fire crews rushed to the scene. They extinguished the blaze by around 3:40 this morning. No one was injured. The home was on the victim’s grandmother’s Chamorro Land Trust land. He said he’ll live in a tent on that property until he figures out what’s next. The house was made of wood and had a tin roof. According to Dededo Mayor Melissa Savares, it was due for a rebuild.
