The GRA Board Chair also said the fire should not prevent citizens from transacting businesses with other branches of GRA.
The fire started at the GRA Head Office Annex on Sunday, December 1, 2019, at the top floor offices of the multipurpose building.
Eyewitnesses say thick black smoke began to fill the clear Sunday sky around 9:00 am before the raging flames became visible.
The fire hit the Archives Department of the GRA which has a lot of combustible materials, Joy News has learned.
