A fire on Monday morning at a property on University Crescent in Papine, St. Andrew has left 18 students of the University of Technology in need of alternative rooms to lay their heads.
It took 17 firefighters more than five hours to extinguish the blaze which began at 9:28 a.m.
No one was injured.
Senior Superintendent for the Jamaica Fire Brigade in Kingston and St. Andrew, Patrick Gooden, told Radio Jamaica News that investigators are trying to determine the cause of the fire.
"The investigators have been called in and they will be going through the premises to look for any possible clue that would allow them to find a possible cause," he said.
The affected students are receiving counselling.
