Womens Centre Fire
_________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Women Centre caught fire between 4 and 5am, on the night between Friday 6th and Saturday 7th of January. The female refugees who use the centre and the volunteers who operate it were devastated to hear the news on the Saturday morning. Several volunteers with experience in firefighting have observed that the seating area was ignited, whilst the central wood burner and cooking hobs were left intact. The damages are significant, and have affected most of the Women Centre. The centre has been, since then and to this day, entirely inoperable. As the causes for the fire remain unknown, an investigation is on-going.
