The Minister of the Interior of Peru, Avelino Guillén, said for his part that the fire that affects a building where the Plaza Central Shopping Center operates did not cause injuries or deaths at the moment and that the origin of the incident could be a short circuit.
The Andina agency added that, according to the fire chief, Mario Casaretto, the fire is consuming the prefabricated material environments, the same ones that functioned as a plastics warehouse.
