Last night, San Pedranos banded together in a bucket brigade trying to extinguish a roaring fire in their town. According to police reports, it was around 8:30 when a waitress at Brunolito's Ice Cream Shop noticed fire coming from the bodega area of the building. When she opened the door, she saw a wooden table and a wall fan above it engulfed in flames. She and another man who was inside the restaurant attempted to use two fire extinguishers, but they both malfunctioned.
They fire then spiraled out of control and the fire department was called. But that wasn't the end of the blaze. Courtney Menzies has this story.
The estimated damage to Brunolito's is $400,000 USD. An apartment room was also damaged, but no one was inside at the time of the fire. No cause has been determined yet.
