The authorities need to dust off the files and historical data on Normans Cay to learn how to address the current issues in and out of the area.

Fires can light itself, especially in areas in the bushes with undetected housing shelters where garbage are disposed consisting of glass, bottles can act as magnifying sunlight onto surrounding debris like dry grass or containers of used oil etc. Lightning also starts fires.

Not only undetected housing areas but quite legal established areas can also dispose of garbage illegally in the bushes.

Old abandoned vehicles that are pushed into bushes have residue of dirty oil, tyres etc. that also part of the problem.

“You cannot find a master plan for the city of Nassau because it doesn’t exist. You can’t find a master plan for the island of New Providence because it doesn’t exist,” said Mr Sands.

Yes, there was a plan for the city of Nassau which was being explored by the Honorable PAPA Ingraham where the South Beach Clinic and the Police Station is located. There was the very advancing views an dealing with thousands of acres of land that is undeveloped for the relocation of large congested areas of downtown Nassau. Additionally there was also talks on a more frequent regular Ferry service going over to Fresh Creek Andros area where affordable housing can provide daily labour as it now seems that it can be quicker to travel by a fast boat from Nassau to Andros than it can take to travel by car from existing congested downtown Nassau to western or eastern areas of New Providence at safety driving speed limits at peak hours.

In having a less stressed New Providence travelling on congested roads and quicker access to jobs etc would provide more productive less stressed man hours, less time after being on road instead to find the now normal destressing routine of employees arriving to work, having prayers and taking orders for what to have for lunch.

How many more cases of this defect exists in the numbers of other Loan Accounts ?

How many cases of homes been actually been delinquent and sold with this defect with the added financial suffering to the customer ?

The Central Bank of the Bahamas throughout all the years should have picked up and corrected the defect and furthermore been more involved in the banking forms, documents, practices, communications to the customers etc which these banks utilize to ensure they are not biased or skewed in the unfairness to the customers.

As the Central Bank of the Bahamas being a Regulator of the Banking and Financial Services practices there must also be a fully independent department as Regulator of the Banking and Financial Services industry where the very same department has their salaries and employment benefits are paid by the very same Central Bank. It is quite clear that Banks and financial institutions with significant alliances with government would have situations arise that is unfair and biases emerge where the Central Bank regulator did not pick up and correct ----- and especially those which are allowed to be on the BISX trading platform.

Now that the customer had to have money to go for all the way to the Supreme Court for the Bahamas government's bank to have an obvious Government bank correct the obvious error, then what would happen to those government bank officials responsible?

Why should the BISX bank continue unless drastic measures taken and this to appear in the Supreme Court and in the world financial analysts, financial ratings agencies, international data collection etc and history Archives?

While in this case a wrong was done in the first case and to then reveal by the country's Supreme Court that the second wrong was done by the government bank to the customer is shameful and worse.

Isn't there a Fire Fighting boat owned by the authorities of The Commonwealth of the Bahamas to contain and extinguish any fires on board of the seems hundreds of vessels tied up in the Port Nassau Harbour?

Perhaps a stationed Fire Fighting Boat could also be of assistance to the nearby Restaurants and Food areas, stores with flamable goods etc.. next to the Prince George Harbour front as those buildings or as a matter of fact are really old structures with old wooden roofs, rafters and if one catches fire then a good portion of our beloved Capital city could be rendered operationally.

Isn't there (1) ONE Fire Hydrant near to the fire?

While the visitors might not be affected, the greatest concern is the amounts of PMH critical care medical professionals who tend to reside in nearby residence accommodations like the destroyed apartments now have to deal with them being homeless.
Its the medical care of the Bahamian patients and the medical personnel personnel and residents who lost their residence which is the important issue.

Had a subsidized hostel built and been utilized, there could have shelter for the personnel. Had there have been repurposing the then Collins House to assist family island family with patient flown in, then some of those rooms could have used to keep the important care medical professionals near their patients. Somewhere in the early 70's the political visionaries in the govt saw the future need to expand the PMH and purchased the Collins House with its 6 acres to expand PMH.

When were the evacuation procedures been practiced by the nearby PMH, our nation's main hospital? Are there any evacuation drills? Fire drills? Hurricane winds safety controls? Storm surge danger controls?

The enormous fire as seen by the photos was a threat to all nearby structures including the nearby PMH which is a very old structure with hundreds of patients and staff. Thank goodness the winds and fire were going in the other direction.
