Firefighters have extinguished a fire at Torre MM, an upscale office building at Av Gustavo Mejia Ricart and Filomena Gomez de Cova, near Abraham Lincoln Avenue in Santo Domingo. Several economic consulting, legal and engineering and architectural firms are based in the building. General Oscar Guillermo Garcia of the Santo Domingo fire service said that the fire began in the underground parking area. He said that the fire had affected 15 vehicles, three of which were totally gutted. They have not yet identified the causes of the fire. Luis Miguel de Camps, spokesman for the owners of the building, said that one building staff member had to be taken to the Dr. Abel Gonzalez hospital. Employees and firemen rescued Gisela Herrera who suffered a panic attack on the 4th floor and did not evacuate the building, according to reports.
Hoy reports that the firefighters suspect that a gas tank in a car parked in the basement caused the fire. There were no injuries. The fire caused major bottlenecks on the busy street.
