A fire broke out early Sunday morning at La Francia Moderna store, part of the CIMEX S.A. chain in Cienfuegos, situated in the bustling boulevard of the city. The swift response from both the store employees and the fire department ensured that there were no injuries or casualties.
Despite the successful containment of the blaze, the incident has led to substantial economic losses, according to a report from the state-run newspaper, Cinco de Septiembre, on Facebook. Initial reports suggest that the fire originated from a short circuit in an air conditioning unit. However, the authorities are continuing their investigation to confirm this theory and uncover further details about the event.
Additionally, it was reported that the fire department's efforts prevented the flames from spreading to nearby residences, which could have escalated the situation significantly.
