Fire destroys part of Manati Park Bavaro

Last Friday a fire reduced to ashes part of the main plaza of the Manat? Park amusement center near the B?varo tourism zone. The fire destroyed two clothing shops, a photography studio, a bar, a kitchen, an ice cream parlor and a series of freezers. Thanks to efforts by Park workers, the fire was extinguished before damaging the area where the water shows – featuring dolphins and seals, among other animals – are performed daily. Nonetheless, damages are estimated to be more than a million pesos. The cause of the blaze has not yet been determined, although police have detained two employees for questioning.
