Firefighters quickly extinguished the flames preventing its spread to the residential building, which had to be evacuated
Firefighters from the Fire Extinction and Rescue Consortium extinguished a fire this Wednesday afternoon in an empty commercial basement on Martín Piñero street, in the old part of the city, according to sources from 112 confirmed to LA VERDAD.
Firefighters quickly smothered the flames, preventing it from spreading to the apartment block, which had to be evacuated, and to the adjacent commercial shallows. The event took place at 3:40 p.m. when the Single Emergency Service received numerous calls warning of the fire that started, for unknown reasons, in an area where wood was stored.
Once the flames were extinguished and the smoke ventilated, the neighbors were able to return to their homes.
