And with or without a second C.E.O. the ministry of housing may be pressed to carry out duties this holiday season.
Case in point, Corozaleña and Carolina villager Dolores Mendez, a 33-year-old woman who lost her home to fire over the weekend.
The fire department says it all started with a mosquito coil, one that Dolores's young son lit and placed under his bed before going to sleep.
The family would later wake up to find their home engulfed in flames. This afternoon Dolores told CTV3 about the impossible choices she had to make for the very survival of her family.
Dolores Mendez, Fire Victim
"We were sleeping and when I got up it was because there was fire and all I could be try to put out some of the flames but I couldn't do anything else. I couldn't save my house. What I did was I left what I was doing to get my baby out because if not my baby would have gotten burnt. I couldn't get out any of my things. It all got burnt, it all got turned to ash birth papers, everything burnt. The only thing I'd want now if someone can help is that they rebuild my house. I need material, I need blocks, sand, gravel, cement, zinc, anything that they could help me with, please. Right now I'm, I don't have hardly anything, and at this moment my husband isn't working either."
"My sister-in-law's house burned too. So if we could get some help as well with my sister in Law's house."
Mendez's sister in law sustained water damage to the roof and walls of her home. The value of the damages on the two homes has yet to be determined.
