    Wonder who is/was more equipped to battle the fire:- the person with the yellow hat or the others around him.

    Maybe this is a sign that they should go electronic and stop handwriting these birth certificates. They look so fake when you have to use them abroad.

    Dominicans take sense out of nonsense I am not a decendant of slavery. My family came as tourist after slavery. My family came from France, automatically my race is from the blue eyes. You all need to go to a rehab and learn about life. All those lawyer are members of the black gown gangs, they don’t warship the same god with you and I. Our God is the master of the universe and they warship something with a human body and a goat head? Illuminati. so mind you all business, you poor people and let satan angels do their own thing or go to hell with them. I choose HEAVEN :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

      That’s not nice at all to say you are cursing DA more and more by your nasty comments I am happy for computer and cell but for we Dominicans I am not happy to much nonsense we are abusing those things to much

    I am suspicious, that this latest event is nothing more than a ‘smoke-screen’. I suspect that because of one of the lawyers involved. And the reason this took place is in order to take the attention from Gong Emanuel case.

    Francisco Telemaque is a dumb boy, (I doh know anything eh), however the game is a simply one ” Shillingford is in Jail, so they are trying to make it appear as if there is another arsonist out there setting fire to the office of a certain lawyer.

    The idea is that when that certain Lawyer is dragged before the court, his argument will be: his office was also set on fire, so he had nothing to do with Seco, Shillingford, and the fire bombing of Emanuel’s home.

    I mean if Dominicans fall for such crap, somebody should simply round up all of us Dominicans wherever we are, and whip our butts with a bull whip.

      Once they think you are a hammer they put you in pergatory/limbo like the catholic church puts you in limbo. You remain there for ever. Awaiting moderation = pergatory.

    Take a look at Roseau on a Sunday afternoon, I say Sunday Afternoon because Roseau is literally dead then, you can walk in the middle of the streets etc. now turn around 360 degrees and you will notice no matter where you imagine you are standing that Roseau looks lovely. At least for the most part. Try taking a photo of what you see, the buildings the streets and there is one thing that appears in the photos which makes your entire experience horrible, the electrical lines! The poles seem to be over burdened with wires. These wires run inches away from business balconies and terraces, inches away from some residential buildings, safety to the public does not seem high on DOMLEC’s and IRC’s agenda. With the millions made over the the years by Domlec a fraction should be used to fixing up its infrastructure. It may mean that some areas would require additional poles and even taller one and some areas underground cabling but if we are to make our city look like and feel like a city we need to do what is needed. A case where Registry is affected by Domlec’s practices should be dealt with swiftly with no compromises.

      rta manicou all the same family. manicou can climb tree and poles electrical or cableManicou smells so do rats. So we smell rat/manicou same thing meme bete meme puele.
      There is a link of fires papers dating way back. Recall the burning of the resistry in the 70’s -80’s then GON house now the pole where the manicou is catches fire are we planning on only BBq-ing GON or the manicou turn has come?Behanzi is a manicou? i wonder who is and who’s not. This thing stinks to the top( of the pole)-the electric pole or otherwise.
      Not only Roseau street stinks the establishment too.D/can Queen put that in ur pipe and pull hard. light -up ur splif. The smell of a burning spliff can tone down the m anicou smell.

    “Some” of the entities affected by the fire leaves one to wonder….hmmmmmm! Some of these entities actually have a lot of “paperwork” that everyone is interested in when a formal investigation is launched by another government. Reminds me of when a “certain” political party burnt the old high court (now parliament building) back in the day destroying very important documents. I smell a BIG FAT RAT and hope the police look into this carefully.

    My Eyes are on you folks..

    The fire service needs more breathing equipment!
    The only good ambulance in Roseau had to be used to carry breathing equipment and oxygen bottle to the fire sene.
    Where was utility 19, 20, and 21?
    Were they all in service at the time?
    Mr. Fire chief, ask the government for equipment!
    You need more equipment for effective operation!
    Maybe, if the fire service were readily equiped, the service would not have had to lose so much time awaiting breathing equipment before some firemen could enter and quickly attend to the affected area of the building.

    at least the rat did not go and cry on any radio station. there are other people working in the area and could be our family member, but some of us are so wicked, and ready to rejoice on other people mishap that we forget it could happen to us or our family. but thank god is not a police and everything worked out good for the better of everyone. thanks fire officers for a job well done, because it could have been worse and it would not be one person it would be many. thank you lord.

    Fire and lawyers are not mutually exclusive nowadays. Fire at Emanuel’s home; fire at Benhazin’s law office and now fire at Isidore’s law offices. Where next?

      tell us make a guess lol doh do dat nuh partner they will come for you if your prediction turn out to be true. lol

    • July 8, 2013

      As I noted; all the recent fires at the Lawyers offices, are nothing more than a smoke-screen, eventually they will link them all to the culprit who was sent to murder Gong Emanuel.

      The fire bug will soon make a mistake, and will be caught; he/she will name the real master mind behind the plot, the master mind is a big fish when caught he will hang himself in his cell at Stock Farm.

      Everyfing for all you is negative. “Afraid of DA”, I suppose you don’t live there. Thank God!! Is people like all you dat does bring de country down. Stay where you are, obey all their rules, but when it comes to DA, have problem with everything. You not parking on de sidewalk where you are, and you not driving above de speed limit, and you not drinking in de street. If Dominica where to impose these laws all you would say de government bad, but you obeying de law of de land where you are though.

      • More afraid 4 DA
        July 8, 2013

        I agree with you 10000% now tell easy and dem toobey the law/rules and don’t do what they doing.
        See whose office it close too? news say ” fire coming from a ple next to whose office?” The other office peeps don’t have to worry.
        Where there is smoke there is fire and vice-versa.But is it co-incidence that smoke coming from a pole next to peeps who was in the news with another fire?
        Lightening strikes in the same place three /four times.it happens.
