Fire officials seems to be cracking the nut on what caused a fire at the Roseau Cooperative Credit Union (RCCU) in Roseau on Tuesday, causing a halt in operations.
Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the Fire and Ambulance Services, Wayne Letang, said the fire was caused by welding activity which was taking place in the basement of the new wing of the building.
“The Roseau Fire Station responded to a fire call at approximately 11:36 am and that call was received from the Roseau Cooperative Credit Union (RCCU),” he said. “The fire existed in the basement of that building and that fire was extinguished quickly upon arrival. Upon investigations it was asserted that some welding operations was being done in the new wing of the RCCU and some material close to the welder was ignited by the sparks from the welding operation.”
According to Letang damage was minimal.
He said although the building was filled with smoke, it was eventually ventilated and operations were able to continue.
You mean Fire Officers can break (no-entry) in Dominica. First time I see that. So Fire Brigade come.
I never know Fire Officers can break entry like that anywhere in the world. First time I see that in my lifetime.I must laugh.
My God accidents do happen don’t they.
This contractor needs to be fired
I just sent alot of sensitive documents not to long ago I hope they safe and don’t fall in the wrong hands.
all’s well that ends well
First a flood. and then a fire. What is going on? Something is wrong with that building.
What is next? A thorough safety inspection should be conducted at that place.
May my documents papers burn as well…
Why? You do not want to pay your bill?
They may be secured in a vault. So lower your hopes. 
I want to know WHY on God’s good earth will a manager will allow people to work in a building that is under construction. First flood now fire. Where is the common sense in all of this ???????
is no one concerned about the workers? only money and documents?
They obviously were safely evacuated, DNO would have reported otherwise if they were not.
Dont worry its federally insured
As long as when i come for my money they doh give me no excuse about the money burn. otherwise than that the loan and other things i owing can burn
Just think. They borrow from the bank and also save money received at the bank. Therefore I am assuming that a certain amount of money will not be on the premises. I would state, fear not.
Father in the Name of Jesus, please put out that fire. Protect our documents and money nestling in this building. You are God, and we implore you to place your mighty hand on this fire and out it. In Jesus Name we pray.
Protect the documents and money… Smh what about the people ?
I hope Father God’s tithe not in a savings account!
Do not make me laugh. How much tithe and weekly one at that?
The FIREFIGHTERS already have it under control. Let’s give them some thanx huh?
You forget to ask him to deposit 1 million in your deposit box.

This is not the first time. What is going on?
OH oh I hope my money doe burn
