I witnessed the womens Bucket Brigade and It brought me to tears! Several of my family members were displaced by this tragedy and a lucky few were saved by a hair. Tia Chocolate is so right in expressing her views this way. we have many great men on the island but for some reason when we needed them they were not there...the ones that were at the scene could not man up so the women did it for them. One very special woman took hold of the fire hose and fought the fire like a man, not to protect her home but to try to protect the other homes that ere threatened by the fire. Patty Arceo was asked countless times by family members to get out and she refused to leave her neighborhood and watch it all go up in smoke. 6 Buildings were not able to be saved but because of the strong women of our island a countless others were. Ladies of the bucket brigade and Patty, we thank you so very much for saving homes and lives.
