(Kaieteur News) – Tricia Wintz, whose home was destroyed by fire several months ago, is closer to opening the doors of her new home at Glasgow Village, East Bank Berbice.
Wintz, a 45-year-old municipal constable attached to the Mayor and Town Council (M&TC) of New Amsterdam, shared the six-bedroom property with her seven children. The two-story wooden and concrete structure was flattened on 27th April, 2026.

A commitment was immediately made by prominent New Amsterdam businessman Aubrey David to facilitate the completion of a new home for her. This pledge was made just days after Wintz’s home was destroyed.

On Friday, Wintz told Kaieteur News that works had commenced almost immediately on her new home and construction is almost complete. The new building is a three -bedroom concrete structure.
“Having a new home, I feel grateful, because I wouldn’t be able to rebuild so fast. Probably I’d try, but doing it so quickly, I know that I couldn’t get it done so fast. It would take me a little time. I’m grateful for what I have here now. I feel so relieved, because I will be more comfortable,” Wintz relayed.
When completed, this would be Wintz third home. April’s incident would mark the second instance of her losing her home to fire. The first such incident occurred nearly 20 years ago, she told Kaieteur News in a previous interview.
