A very large fire has destroyed a fiberglass Jacuzzi and shower stall manufacturer on the outskirts of the capital. The blaze, which could be seen from the Duarte Highway, destroyed Agua Technologic, a family-owned business. According to eyewitnesses, the fire started at around 8 o'clock on Saturday night, but fire crews did not arrive until nearly two hours later, despite several calls to 911. Eventually, ten fire units arrived on the scene and fought to save the buildings nearby. Residents who were struggling to save their homes fought the flames alongside the fire crews. The eyewitnesses told El Caribe reporters that the night watchman was sleeping at the time the fire started and had to be rescued by neighbors. Sources told reporters that the losses were enormous.
