Flames and smoke rise from the Matanzas Supertanker Base as firefighters work to quell the blaze which began during a thunderstorm in Matanzas, Cuba, Monday, Aug. 8, 2022.
FIREFIGHTERS have brought a devastating industrial blaze in Cuba under control although President Miguel Diaz Canel warned on Wednesday that the danger was not yet over.
Mexico and Venezuela sent 127 specialists, 45,000 litres of retardant foam, eight armoured breathable air tanks, and other materials as it mobilised in support of Havana.
"We made progress in confronting the terrible fire in the Matanzas Industrial Zone. Today was a day of victory, but we cannot trust ourselves. The danger is still latent,” Mr Diaz Canel said.
