One building was destroyed and three others were affected in a fire which occurred in the village of Mahaut on Sunday night.
“Two of the other buildings suffered damage to their roofs and one had damage in one of the bedrooms and the fourth had some scorching damage done to it,” leading fire officer Wayne Letang told DBS radio Monday morning.
Letang said an elderly female occupant of one of the affected buildings had to be taken to hospital for observation.
However, according to him, based on the fire department’s investigations, no other injuries were reported as a result of the fire.
Letang said that the fire department is still trying to determine the cause of the fire and the extent of the damage, as its investigations continue.
The fire occurred on the seaside section of the road close to National Cooperative Credit Union (NCCU) building in Mahaut.

It is only a matter of time that those who do wicked deeds will be punished. If not on earth but in eternity. I always emphasize that, it is better to do good than evil; far better. The evil that men (people) do follow them and to eternity. This is why the Lord wants us to be patient. He said, “Vengeance is Mine. I will repay!”
my dad is definitely not under century
Did you mean “scrutiny?” If so, God who knows our hearts better than others and what people plan to do and carry it out which is imbedded in their hearts, thoughts and minds know everything, as nothing is hidden from him. He is the Judge of all.
I hope no one was seriously hurt. I am very very
sorry at you all losses. May the Almighty comfort
all at this moment.
Some info abutthe houses would be helpful to out there we are all wondering who lost their houses.We do hope the Pal Rep step up adn be there for his people sometimes he have a dont care attitude.
Some people can be so heartless as to appear very cruel with the comments being made. This is not a time to rejoice over someone’s tragedy. The person who wrote “fan the flames”, hope you stop and reflect on the meaning of your words.
SO SAD
So sad keep the faith God will take you all through it
i sorry for those victim of this fire cause not a sweetie all u going to get from skerite to get back a house in this tough times weh bordiyay.
I view this fire with optimism that will institute change.most settlements on the west coast is clustered and this in it self allows for the creation of shanty dwellings.i would love to see that one day the authorities regularize these places to be safer and more anesthetic.
Who are the owners of these houses
So sorry for the victims, especially in these tough economic times where other persons do not have much to spare to help.
This is something I can agree with you on but we Dominicans will still step up to the plate no matter what!
So sad loosein a home I pray those involved will find strength
well jilly I pray that god will help you and to ma yew god was on your side and to all that assisted you in getting out may god bless them hats off to Franklyn royer better known as guiste he play a great role
Omg, so sorry for your lossess, I know what it is to loose everything including the roof over your head, keep on praying and remember the Lord does not give us more than we can bare.
I have noted recently there are more fires in Dominica than ever – previously.
Many of those houses at Mahaut, near the road are built closely. I am wondering exactly where the fire occurred.
Today, with technology and other modern elements, residents must be extremely careful.
I hope no one is injured. As you pray, ask the Lord for protection and strength to cope with what may be inevitable.
While you may be right, houses are even closer in the US and in the UK, mostly all stuck togther. They just have a better fire response system.
Not always in Toronto. The norm these days town houses are built in the same manner. If a fire breaks out the entire block could be burned even though the fire response time is swift.
There have been a few fires in Toronto. Some may be through natural causes and others through vandalism. There are times a few houses burn down and some others are burned but only damaged. We never know when a fire will strike. There are times it is negligence of various sorts. It could also be caused by faulty electrical wiring or appliance.
There are also times new houses are being constructed and they catch fire usually late at night or in the early hours of the morning. These baffle me. Could be deliberately set.
Chief have safety for your men.fire fighters is under century. Shame on you .they are so scared to go in no breathing apparatus.the public is watching you
What do you mean by ‘under century’
Scrutiny would be my guess.

Mahaut is on the East Coast and immediately north of Massacre . It is near the Belfast River.
That should have been “West Coast”
