The accident also affected a paint sale and firefighters worked to prevent the fire from spreading to homes and other neighboring businesses.
In the afternoon hours of Thursday they reported that they were carrying out “defensive maneuvers”, to protect “some houses in passage 1 of the Llum colony, adjoining the south-west side of the burning structure”.
The flames originated in the cellar of the establishment located on the second floor of the business, where the staff of the relief organization began work to try to suffocate from approximately 10:00 a.m. this Thursday.
“Lubricants, spare parts of all kinds and new tires” were stored in the cellar, which is what was “causing this dense black smoke,” the Fire Department source said.
Some people who suffered a nervous breakdown or were affected by smoke inhalation were treated at the scene, one of the lifeguards said.
