A huge fire destroyed or damaged more than 200 houses and businesses on the Honduran island of Guanaja on Saturday, forcing hundreds of residents to flee for safety and ravaging the tourism-dependent resort, relief authorities said.

The fire broke out before dawn and residents struggled to bring it under control, as the island does not have a firefighting service. Videos posted on social media showed people throwing water to put out the flames.

The Honduran Air Force (FAH) deployed helicopters to douse the fire.

Officials said four people were injured in the blaze, which destroyed 90 houses and damaged another 120, including some used as businesses.
