This Happened yesterday in Azua. A small house caught on fire and the fire spread over next door to my wife?s warehouse that was full of carton boxes and burned down completely. The fire department showed up promptly as you would expect from any real Bomberos. Upon arrival, fire men jumped out of the fire truck to do their job in such a hurry that even the driver forgot to turn the engine off and the truck was in gear! It took off and run over fifteen motoconchos before it rammed into a house totally destroying it. Guess what else? The fire truck didn?t even have a drop of water in the tank when they came to put out the fire! This morning we found out that the Motoconchistas who had their motorcycles parked in a row to watch the fire have already put in a claim against our insurance for the loss of their machines.
Three years ago when one of our packing houses burned down, my wife called the fire department in Mao. They called her back an hour later to see if they can borrow a couple of tires from our trucks as theirs blew up on the way!
Life in the DR is sometimes like watching a live cartoon show.
Like CC says, what a country!!! I am still enjoying it though.
