how in gods name does a bank catch fire? Speaking of fires I passed by La Roca and the half burned hull is just left there waiting to catch fire again. Is there no one running the town? Guess not.

La Roca had squatters in it STILL AFTER the fire, although, there seems to be people show up sporadically to do bits of tear down, only in the Dominican....

The plot thickens. Heres a cut n paste from Sosua News.

was caused by a short circuit in a battery of the emergency power supply. The smoke detecting alarm system didn't react as it was out of order. Because of this, there arose more damage than necessary. Fire specialists will examine the coming days what the exact cause of the fire and refusing of the smoke detecting system was.

Smoke alarm not working. Looking forward to fire specialists report but not holding my breath. Anyone wanna bet this is the last we will ever hear of the Banco Popular Fire. Only one question has me wondering. Will Banco Popular fix the smoke detectors now? Probably not. After all what are the chances of another fire.

oops. need to pay better attention. I copied my favorite part. Kind of nervous copying Sosua News here and stepping on our Kens toes. Although come to think of it I have not seen any of our Kens usual postings. Hope he has not been let go by the paper.

I went to the Bank machine today and didn't even notice any fire type damage!
I did think it was odd that it wasn't open but I just go with the flow here and don't bother questioning much anymore.

You missed inside with the free BBQ lunch today!

Fire alarm/smoke detectors do not work in the bank. May be they have dummy security cameras there too?
