The People’s Power Minister for Internal Relations, Justice and Peace, Remigio Ceballos Ichaso, informed this Sunday that the fire authorities of the Carabobo state, coordinated by the Risk Management System, are fighting the strong fire registered in the facilities of the Traki company in the Valencia center.
The incident was recorded early in the morning on July 9 on Avenida Bolívar Norte in the capital of Carabobo, but the early work of the firefighters prevented it from spreading to other adjacent locations.
Minister Ceballos Ichaso explained that along with the work to extinguish the fire, cooling work is also being carried out in nearby areas to isolate the fire.
Also the M/G Carlos Pérez Ampueda, Vice Minister for Risk Management and Civil Protection, indicated that the units of the Risk Management System quickly attended to the incident, in which no injured person was reported, according to what he reported.
After the fire has been extinguished, which has been limited to the area of the commercial premises, investigations into the ignition of the fire will begin.
Governor Lacava present at the scene of the incident
The governor of the state of Carabobo, Rafael Lacava, appeared at the scene of the incident, in the center of the capital of Carabobo, to find out first-hand about the work to extinguish the fire.

In the same way, he presented his appreciation to the regional and national authorities who devoted themselves to controlling the fire, which consumed a good part of the premises’ facilities.
