A motorbike is believed to have caused a fire that resulted in thick smoke near Cuba's National Hotel this past Saturday. Official journalist Rosy Amaro reported on Facebook that a motorbike caught fire but assured that everything was under control. Another official spokesman, Kriss Rojas, added that no injuries or material damages have been reported so far, though the incident caused significant concern among local residents.
Videos posted on Facebook showed dozens of people running and asking if something was "on fire". The footage revealed that the smoke originated near the Hotel Capri and the National Hotel, at the intersection of 21st and O Streets in El Vedado. However, a video taken from a closer angle seemed to indicate that the incident might have occurred within the National Hotel's perimeter, as smoke could be seen coming from the parking area.
"Look at all that smoke over there, right next to El Capri. Something is definitely on fire," a woman can be heard saying.
