Santo Domingo, RD.
A tank of tanks with traces of chemicals was destroyed by a fire tonight at kilometer 11 of the Duarte Highway.
The incident began around 7:45 on Wednesday night and the flames spread immediately throughout the space.
However, the rapid intervention of 10 units of the National District Fire Department prevented it from affecting the surrounding buildings.
Mrs. Elvira Angustia Sánchez, informed that for more than 20 years they have managed with Environment and the mayor’s office that the deposit be taken out of their community and they have not achieved anything.
The deposit is located at kilometer 11 of the Duarte highway, in the Los Pinos Norte neighborhood.
Mrs. Elvira stressed that the fire was apparently caused by a short circuit, since the electric power spent the day “turning off and on.”
This Thursday at 5:00 in the afternoon the union of neighborhood councils has an assembly scheduled to address the issue.
