A small fire sent several Santo Domingo Fire Department units to the Banco de Reservas located at Calle Isabel la Catolica in the Colonial Zone. Fortunately, the fire, which originated in a second floor paper deposit, was put out quickly. Smoke enveloped several floors of the bank giving the impression the fire had been greater. Bank administrator Manuel Lara Hernández said that the bank would operate as usual today, and that only documents of little worth had been destroyed.
