LIVE VIA FACEBOOK: A VAN IS ON FIRE IN GLEN SVG

This morning as I was i received a notification from one of my Facebook friends that A VAN WAS ON FIRE in Glen, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. It was with great sadness that I looked on. Several questions raced for a spot in my mind. Why was the fire truck not on the scene already? Why didn't the onlookers seemed effortless in doing something to bring this burning fire under control? Did they even care that a house was sitting beside this burning van and it can catch fire too?

With the advancement of technology that makes everything noways in our community accessible at the click of a button it is difficult for the human eyes to miss these flaws in human nature when disaster like this one occurs.

Lesson learnt: IT DOES NOT HURT TO BE NEIGHBOURLY!
