Millionaire losses left a fire that consumed four commercial premises, in the downtown of Neiva. A short circuit would have been the source of the conflagration.
A short circuit would have been the origin of the fire that destroyed four commercial premises, the work of dozens of employees, and left millionaire losses, in the Neiva microcenter. No person was injured.
The emergency, which occurred around four o’clock in the afternoon yesterday on the Fourth race between Fifth and Sixth streets, was attended by four machines and 20 units of the Official Fire Department of Neiva and a tank car loaded with water from the Ninth Army Brigade and an ambulance from the Huila Sectional Red Cross.
The first investigations indicate that the conflagration originated in a warehouse for the distribution and sale of security cameras, the flames quickly spread to a place that sold paintings, a hardware store and a store of religious articles.
The flames were strengthened by the materials found in the premises as well as the old structure of the premises. “In the warehouses there was combustible material …”, said the Secretary of Risk Management and the Official Fire Department of Neiva, Armando Cabrera Rivera.
The official said that the first hypotheses about the origin of the fire point to a “short circuit in the security camera sales warehouse.”
Warehouse employees were helping to remove the rubble from the premises at night. “This is very hard … the merchandise that was not burned was damaged by the water used to put out the flames,” said an official from a hardware store.
Material losses have not been valued by the warehouse owners. “It is too early to know how much we have lost, tomorrow (today) we will be taking stock to know how much the losses amount,” said the owner of the premises.
Some of the affected warehouse owners took out some products and they were stored in a nearby warehouse. While others took them home.
The Neiva Metropolitan Police assigned patrols to provide security in the sector.
