Four more Barbadians are now homeless after the firebug struck at Lead Gap, Passage Road in St. Michael.
Around five this evening their wooden house was destroyed by fire.
The occupants, who were away from home, lost all of their possessions in the blaze.
Neighbour Richard Legall was the first to notice the fire and sounded the alarm.
Divisional Officer Marlon Small told CBC News getting access to the burning structure was a challenge.
Two water tenders and ten officers under the Command of Divisional Officer Small responded to the blaze.
