The holidays were miserable and sad for the Chi family in San Pedro; their home burned down on Christmas morning. Juan Chi and his family were inside their home when the kitchen erupted into flames. They escaped and the fire was contained, but their home was destroyed. Here's more from the police.

ASP Alejandro Cowo, CIB - Eastern Division
"San Pedro police visited the Marina Drive in San Pedro Town, where upon arrival they observed an elevated board house engulfed in flames. The house is owned by one Mr. Juan Chi of that same address. Initial police information is that Mr. Chi was inside of his house along with two minors when he observed the eastern side of the building engulfed in fire; that is where the stove is located. As a result of that, he ran out for assistance and then he came back inside of the house whereby he received minor burns to his body. He was admitted and he was discharged on the same day from the Polyclinic from San Pedro. Up to now there is nothing to indicate that it's an arson. The fire department were there and they were canvassing the remains of the building to see...or if they can establish what is the cause of the fire."

6 members of the Chi family lived in the home.
