Our sympathies go out to the business owners who had a great lost when their businesses were down to the ground. We pray that as they go through this tough time that their faith keep strong and because we are a Loving hearted people we will watching we are writing and saying so that their pain will not be worst than it already is.
Who say that there was no fire extinguisher there?
Facts first before going on social media.
Circumstances sometimes makes it difficult for certain action to be taken.
It could have also been worst for everyone including on lookers if he did not have time to turn off the 2 FULL bottles of big gas while fire was over his head.
Though the businesses were lost, we say thanks to God that no Lives were lost.
Well, we have not heard anything from reports that there was’nt any injuries ,I hope that every one made it safe out.
I’m hoping that the critics are not going to blame the PM for causing the fire, like the one in Silver Lake
While we are happy no one was hurt, he at least for a whole, he cannot boycott other business with his effort to keep them down as he bragged. Karma is a place we go and bath by the sea. Let us all learn to work together as Dominicans.
What a sad society we have become. Look at the number a lights from cellphones of people who recording to be the first to get it out on social media. Maybe, just may these people could be helping instead.
Boy, It’s 7:38 PM Saturday 14, and can you believe the crime scene tape is still on and NO backhoe yet? What a big difference from the fly city boxing day night fire! I am really amazed! Nobody has a backhoe?
Hope the fire did not spread to other buildings and no one was injured.

Something is wrong with your spelling and also keyboard. – unscrupulous, wait, steal, own.
Otherwise your comments make good sense. They do belong behind bars. Their thievery habits with also weapons make them a menace to society.
Hope the people are safe
so sad
Maybe now we can educate small businesses about fire safety and put some regulations out there and make it mandatory to have fire extinguishers within, I’m just saying.
And smoke alarms in business premises and public buildings please!
so sad
Oh no!! Hope everyone is safe!!
I just pray no one was trapped inside!
Wow may all be well with the lives of all
