The volunteer firefighters reported that on Thursday night, May 22 controlled a fire in a presidential guard winery, located in the 5th Final Street 18-00, Zone 1 of the capital.
They added that lifeguards from several companies collaborated to quell the flames from five points of the property.
In that sense, the Minister of Defense, Henry Sáenz, gave the press Friday about what happened in the winery.
Sáenz indicated that the fire was caused by a problem in the electric laying and that the place stored material destined to be discharged.
He added that the origin of the incident was a short circuit, which caused the spread of fire.
He said that, due to the magnitude of the fire, it was necessary to request support from the relief bodies.
The official added that he ordered to initiate an investigation to clarify the circumstances in which the fire originated.
Sáenz said that an attack is discarded, but they also seek to rule out a possible internal sabotage.
We have the pronouncement of two centinelas that attest that they saw the sparks of the short circuit, he said.
He informed that Old mats, disuse furniture and printers were burned, And he explained that these articles decrease years.
