The police, along with fire officials, are investigating the cause of a fire in Goodwill which may have been the cause of death of one individual.
Deputy Fire Chief Wayne Letang, told Dominica News Online (DNO), that about 3:00 a.m. on the morning of October 4, 2021, the Fire and Ambulance Services responded to a fire call on 21 Griffin Lane, Goodwill.
