A fire broke out on Saturday afternoon in a residence in Old Havana, fortunately resulting in no fatalities or injuries. According to the Facebook page La Tijera, the incident occurred in an upstairs house located on Jesús María Street near the corner of Egido.
"To make matters worse, that area has been without water supply for more than 15 days, so they couldn't extinguish the unfortunate fire with water," the report states. The causes of the fire remain unknown at this time.
In the comments section, user Gladys Ortega Jordan confirmed that there were no injuries but lamented that "people lost their belongings." Another local resident named Leticia Arias disputed the claim about the lack of water.
