Skandinavian Bar burns down on Sosua Beach!

[Beads]

I will be very curious to see what facts turn up as part of the investigation. I'm no fire expert but the facts definitely look like this was no accident.

... I'm no fire expert ...

Surely we have a pyromaniac among our membership who can give us his expert opinion? We have every other sort of maniac here.

If Tom had an inverter in that bar, there wouldn't have to be city power on to have a short circuit that could have started the fire.
Poorly maintained inverter batteries can blow up like a bomb and set fire to flammable objects nearby.
Rain leaking into an inverter system can easily cause a short circuit.

Only in the DR can firemen show up to a fire without water, claim they can't find any less than 20 yards from what is apparently a huge ocean(and plenty of sand to throw around if they had buckets) and have it take them 30 minutes to do so.
My heart goes out to any expat who tries to start a business on that island. Now this poor guy is saying he won't rebuild. Like I always said, the DR is a GREAT place as long as nothing goes wrong, 'cause when it does the odds are very much against you.

Now this poor guy is saying he won't rebuild.

We're helping him change his mind.
A couple of hundred guys need only toss in pocket change and we'll have him back on his feet again.

Don't count on the Beach Association helping. Today there was no water on the beach and the association was trying to raise money to buy a piece of pipe. They did manage to build a church last month though. Priorities!!

He's already having to battle just to get the permits to rebuild, but he ain't letting that stop him.

Like I said, they are USELESS beyond useless.

It's all about money.
Money talks around here.
When money's flashed around, things get done !

And speaking of money....
Anybody got a dime to spare?
