Property was lost on Sunday when fire burnt buildings at Kitobo landing site, Kyamuswa county in Kalangala district.
The LC1 chairman, Mr Sam Lwagonza, said the fire was sparked off by a candle at about 4.00am and burnt about 152 structures.
"The fire could have been caused by a candle in a wooden house, where two jerrycans of petrol were being kept by a fisherman," Lwagonza said.
"At the time the fire engulfed the structures, most of the fishermen had gone fishing," Lwagonza said.

Lwagonza said some people from the neighbouring villages took advantage to loot some property. "They ferried the loot on boats to Lambu and Bukasa landing site."
He appealed to the government for help
