Start firing tax payers paying salaries for those employees of this inability to have proper adequate water to put out the fire and endangering the nearby PMH, Princess Margaret Hospital with patients, staff and critical importance to our beloved Bahamaland.
Start firing those responsible as we dread to what would have happened to the nearby massive Commonwealth of the Bahamas Public Princess Margaret Hospital if embers were blown a few hundred feet away to the Princess Margaret Haspital housing hundreds of patients confined to beds --- patients of the nation requirine medicines constantly fron the Pharmacy --- PMH Critical CareEmmergency Section --- and any damage that nearby uncontrolled fires couls pose.
No bones about this situation, start firing those govt officials responsible that could have caused a threat to our beloved Bahamaland's nearby main Princess Margaret Hospital.
