FIRE IN PIEDRA BRIDGE

Last month, a fire broke out in a motorcycle workshop that left three injured. It was around 5 a.m. The place is located on 4th street in the Los Naranjos area, near the cemetery in the area and the School of Non-Commissioned Officers of the National Police of Peru. The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but the Fire Department said they saw the three people at the scene.

These people were then taken to the Puente Piedra Hospital. To give more details of the event, Lenny Vasquez, representative of the district municipality, spoke with TV Peru.

“The three wounded who have been taken to the Puente Piedra Hospital with the paramedical staff. They are in emergency, we are waiting for the first report of their status,” he said.

On the location of the premises, it was located in an industrial area where there are mechanical workshops, warehouses, factories that are on the border with the North Pan-American. “What happens is that it limits and we are going to find that in several places, not only in Puente Piedra,” said the representative of the municipality.

Regarding the oversight of establishments like this, Lenny Vasquez stated that when they seek to control clandestine or unlicensed warehouses there are no laws that allow them to enter or close the premises.

“Most of these places are licensed, they have a certificate, but there are always some who always want to be in the informality. Our urban management does a permanent job of oversight and in many cases we encounter these problems,” he said.
