Last night, 27th December 2010, we had a fire in one of our Spanish neighbours home.
It was an inferno, with flames reaching a few meters into the air and engulfing the poor Rubber Tree, not to mention possibly putting the neighbours homes at risk as well.
We would like to take this opportunity to remind all residents to be vigilant, and if affordable to have house insurance in place, in case this terrible occurrence happens again.
We are unsure at present whether the fire was accidental i.e. an electrical fault or ARSON.
I would assume that the "Policia Local" will investigate the fire for the owners insurance claim.
If our Spanish neighbour requires any help, please do not hesitate to ask.
We hope that the situation is resolved promptly for the owner, and our thoughts are with the family who will have lost personal belongings, and not to mention their holiday home in the community.
We would like to thank those people who's swift action may have saved other properties, and neighbours the pain of loosing their house over the Christmas holidays.
Contact the Treasurer for any information regarding Insurance cover.
