Santo Domingo's fire chief General Oscar Guillermo Garcia is warning condominiums of the fire hazards in their underground parking areas, as reported in Listin Diario. Garcia said that residents should check to ensure that safety measures are in place in case of a fire in the parking lot. He said that as more vehicles are using propane gas as fuel, the risk of a potential explosion increases. He warned that underground parking areas should have smoke detectors to warn of a fire at all times, and that condominiums should have fire extinguishers. He also recommended that security personnel in buildings should have communications equipment to report any emergency.
He said that the most frequent cause of fire is the incorrect placement of gas tanks beside stoves in low-income households because of the lack of space.
