A large fire consumed the facilities of a mechanical workshop tonight, located along Bulevar Venezuela and Calle 5ª Mansión in Barrio La Vega, San Salvador.

Units from Comandos de Salvamento de El Salvador arrived to support the work of the Cuerpo de Bomberos Nacionales, who were struggling to control the flames at the establishment.

Rescuers from Comandos de Salvamento de El Salvador assisted one of the Bomberos, who was affected by smoke inhalation and fatigue from the effort to extinguish the flames.

A woman also had to be ventilated due to smoke poisoning.

During the incident, a neighboring home sustained damage to its infrastructure.
