The National Civil Police (PNC) arrested the person allegedly responsible for causing a fire in a food outlet in the sector of 1st East Street and 6th South Avenue, in front of Plaza San José, San Salvador.
According to the statements provided by the Fire Department, the fire was caused by a person, on the second level of the building, using paint thinner.
In addition, the owner of the food sale establishment was transferred to a care center, since she had a nervous breakdown.
In addition, the Civil Protection Operational Tactical Team worked in coordination with Firefighters in the water supply to extinguish the flames. Subsequently, work was carried out to remove the remains of the burned structures.
“Because of our prompt action, in a minute we had the situation under control, but it took us longer to get full control, but in a few minutes we were sure that the fire was no longer spreading,” reported the sergeant of the Fire Department, Elmer Rivas. .
