A tragic fire destroyed the quarters occupied by Ministry of Health staff on Moala, Lau, last night. The Assistant Health Inspector and a staff nurse lost all their personal belongings in the blaze. According to a statement from the Ministry of Health & Medical Services, Minister for Health Dr. Ratu Atonio Rabici Lalabalavu has expressed his support and encouragement to the couple during this challenging time.
As the investigation continues, local authorities, including police, have yet to determine the cause of the fire. This incident adds to a worrying trend of recent fire tragedies in the region, prompting discussions about fire safety and the adequacy of emergency response capabilities, especially in rural areas.
The Ministry of Health is currently accepting donations to assist the affected couple, with contributions being directed to MPaisa at 99664964 under Divisional Health Inspector Eastern Mr. Onisimo Sadranu.

The resilience of the community and outreach during times like these can foster a safer and more supportive environment for everyone.
