Trinidad has become the land of tragedy.
There is nothing but death and destruction of what was once a proud nation.
As long as we continue to be governed by leaders who do not put the interest of the people first this atrocity will continue.
If we continue to do the same thing over and over we will continue to produce the same results.
Change the leadership and you will change the results |

There needs to be a campaign where all homes are equipped with smoke dectors to warn people. |

Recent Fires in Trinidad and Tobago

It should be bought to the attention of the Government that the Fire Services of Trinidad and Tobago are not capable and responsible enough to deal with emergencies when call upon. Having been a victim of this with them arriving at a scene with half tank of water and no siren with the back-up tender they will continue to allow the citizens of Trinidad and Tobago to have massive losses when this occurs. They need to be properly monitored since they are too relax as an emergency service. |

People do not live in burglar proffing in the developed world-vision 2020!

My condolenses and my heart goes out to the bereaved Chinapoo family,especially the husband.I saw the hurt and the pain on this gentleman's face yesterday.I hope that God gives him the will and the strenght to move on,because it won,t be easy.He thought his family were outside the house but they were trapped inside.The very same burglar proofing that protects us from intruders sometimes turns into a death trap for us.It,s so sad. |

Evacuation Plan

In all major workplaces there is an emergency plan.This is a must according to the OSHA law.Maybe it is time that this is also done in private homes,for this is not the first time that T&T has experienced such a tradegy.
How about each household sit today to plan an emergency route,how to deal with the burglar proofing issue and fire,how to deal with flooding etc.
In some areas,even neighbours can come together and discuss an emergency plan.
I think that we need this urgently.I intend to start today. |

Would it help if our Oil-Rich nation of Trinidad could afford to open more Fire Stations? |

the ones to be held responsible for this tragedy should be town and country. it is time they live up to their mandate and ensure the safety of all citizen in t&t. lots of houses are burglar proofed without safety for the occupants in mind. a standard should be set. these things should be inspected. |

WHEN WILL THEY LEARN

The so-called burglar-proofing as practised in T&T gives the occupants of such "protected homes" a sense of false security. All this practice does is provide the occupants of such burglar-proofed homes with their private jail cell and a fire trap. This practice removes from neighbours the sense of responsibility they should feel to look out for each other. Neighbours become "don't-care" strangers , selfish and uncaring with the "I'll-take-care-of-me-and-mine" approach to life. Well, they are reaping what they have sowed as attested to by the continuously rising crime rate and increasing number of deaths from home fires. Where security is concerned, the only practice that really works all the time is the "I am my neighbours' keeper" approach to living in and outside one's community. Until such time as the citizens of T&T return to their old approach to living their lives where personal security is concerned, real enduring security will remain illusive. TRINI IN CANADA |

It hurts me to see innocent lives being lost by any means.god bless the remainder of this family and the lives that were lost.I hope that the government can organise a fund or help programme that can assist persons that have lost their homes to disasters like these.as a member of the defence force I think that the government should give the army the tools and resources to rebuild these destroyed homes. |

MY DREAM: I was Prime Minister of T@T.I ordered all citizens to remove their Burglar-Proofing from their homes.I would then cause a law to be passed;if anyone is caught,or found guilty of house-breaking,they would be executed.Anyone using an illegal gun,or other deadly weapon to commit assault of murder,would also be executed.The same swift and definitive action taken against Constable Auguste,must be applied,whether,or not it was me(the P.M)who was the victim.As your P.M, I would cause an attempt on my life,to prove that my claim one year ago is true.At least I would be a pro-active P.M.Finally,I would extend my condolences to this family and pay all expenses pertaining to this sad incident,since I failed them.Aubert Modeste |
