SAN LUIS POTOSÍ, Mexico.- Firefighters managed to control a fire of medium proportions that broke out on the night of Saturday, September 14, at the Capri Hotel in Havana, which was allegedly caused by a power outage.

A note from the Board of Directors of the Plaza de la Revolución municipality stated that the fire started at 9:15 p.m. this Saturday, in the kitchen of the La Florentina restaurant, on the top floors of the Capri Hotel, located at 21st and N, in the Vedado neighborhood.

A power cut in the kitchen caused flames to spread throughout the facility, but they were extinguished within an hour.

Two workers inhaled smoke during the accident and were rushed to the Calixto García Hospital and evaluated by specialists. They are currently out of danger and have been discharged from the hospital.

Guests had to be moved to the Hotel Victoria, “as a precautionary measure.” “Thanks to the cooperation of agencies and the attention of local authorities, the hotel will return to normal this Sunday and will continue to provide its usual services,” the government statement said.

Also this Saturday, a fire was brought under control in the warehouses of the ITH marketing company in Varadero.

The flames grew rapidly during the afternoon and although there was no significant damage, it took the firefighters a few hours to extinguish them.

In that case, they still cannot determine what could have caused the fire.

The press reported that units from the Fire Department, the Integrated Medical Emergency System and the Red Cross were present at the scene, as well as political and governmental authorities from the province of Matanzas and the municipality of Cárdenas.

There were no fatalities or injuries and it is reported that the damage to the facilities of the ITH Varadero Marketing Company is not considerable.

ITH, which is responsible for supplying supplies to hotel and non-hotel facilities in Varadero, also did not mention the possible causes of the incident.

Just a few months ago, firefighters put out a fire that broke out in the Matanzas Municipal Aqueduct, in the Naranjal neighborhood.

The fire consumed 400-millimeter PAD pipes that were stored in the aqueduct’s storage yard.
