Significant building fire Welfare Rd

Road blocked at NOLA turn from bridge. Significant flames and smoke with equipment still arriving. SBR front desk said she "heard" that it was either Topper's or Domino's. Can't get close enough to confirm but I guess no croissants this am from La Sucriere

Don't know what NOLA is, but 721 is burning.

NOLA is the soon to open restaurant previously the old Saratoga Restaurant...near Zee Best

Thank you. I forgot that. It's quite a way from there, other side f Fed X and Island 92 building.

Check Island 92 FB page for some amazing pictures. Dr Soc is off air.

Thanks....looks pretty bad. Is that near Pineapple Pete's?

Sort of. Closer to Domino's

Simpson Bay roads closed for now

Praying nobody is in danger.

District 721 is the one that caught fire, where Cugini's used to be

That's a shame!! Burned to the ground!!! No mention if anyone was hurt. Let's pray!! https://www.facebook.com/stmartinnewsnetwork

No reports of injuries.

Thankful for that! That's a really big fire.

Pics on island 92 are pretty scary

Elaine, Can I get to the bridge now?

Bob

Don't know. There has been no release

Other buildings in the area are lucky to have survived, considering how close they were.

Was that the new place that the owner pissed off the neighborhood and government officials by blaring music very loud late at night? Never been there.

Yep

Anyone know if the road is passable now?

I couldn't reach Dr. Soc today, but the radio station was still down this morning. I wanted to suggest a reopening song from the following list:

Burning down the house
We didn't start the fire
Smoke on the Water

Great Balls of Fire - Jerry Lee Lewis
Ring of Fire. - Johnny Cash

Smoke on H2O lol
