Firefighters managed to control the code 3 fire that occurred this Monday in a building on Lima Street, in the San Miguel district, where hardware items and flammable products were stored.
A citizen and four firefighters were injured, so they were evacuated to different hospitals to receive the corresponding medical attention.
Juan Carlos Morales Carpio, general commander of the fire department, indicated that three of his colleagues were treated for heat stroke and another for burns to the lower extremities.
He explained that the damaged premises, although it had a license to operate as a hardware store, “more looked like storage and we found flammable products.” He said that propane gas and cylinder explosions were also generated.
