In addition to the cordoning of the area, the Secretariat of Comprehensive Risk Management and Civil Protection said they had evacuated approximately 3000 people from surrounding properties.
In an interview with Foro Tv, Edgar Enrique Rosas, superintendent of the capital Fire Department, said that because of the height of the flames the electricity supply in the area had to be cut off, and that the fire was already “confined”, so it cannot spread to nearby homes.
