#1326: Eyewitness Reports fire is raging in Jeremie (fwd)
From:Jmfloresta@aol.com
An eyewitness, contacted by telephone, reported that fire was raging in
Jeremie - southwestern part of Haiti - on the early evening of Friday
December 10, 1999. The fire seems to have started from the area of the
penitentiary along the shoreline and move past the pier towards the east and
moving south towards the Market Square burning houses and business
establishments on its way. The problem is that there are no firefighters to
contain it. The people seem to be helpless to protect their property. Does
anyone on the list know about it? As reported, it appears that a lot of
people will be homeless, and that it is a major catastrophe in progress.
