An almond tree burns in a spectacular fire in Cuba

An almond tree burned voraciously this Wednesday while circulating through the municipality San Antonio de los Baños, in the province of Artemisa, according to a video published by a witness.

In the images you can see the vehicle, blue in color, covered by a powerful flare that gave off strong smoke in all directions and made it difficult for other vehicles to circulate in the area.

The Internet user who reported the tragic incident in the Bus & Truck Accidents Facebook group stated that The vehicle caught fire at the entrance to San Antonio de los Baños for reasons he said he did not know.

So far, hardly any other details about what happened have emerged. It is not known if there were any injuries or if there is only material damage to regret.

"The player made a cut", an Internet user ventured in the comments section, who did not offer other details about his statement.

Numerous users in the group They regretted that neither the almendrón victim of the fire nor other cars that were circulating in the area at that time had a fire extinguisher to put out the fire., and they stressed the undeniable importance of having this accessory in vehicles.

Someone who said he was a witness to what happened confirmed that No car that passed by had a fire extinguisher, only "a modern car" did but it was half empty. He also stated that the firefighters arrived almost an hour after the fire broke out.

"How sad and painful to see losing an entire dream and long years of work without being able to do anything!"; "Losing a car that was surely the breadwinner of a family, my God"; "How sad to see someone's cart taking over the candle and not being able to do anything!"; "Very sad to see that with how difficult the situation is," were some comments showing full support for the driver who was the victim of the fire.

There was also no shortage of people who pointed out that Many drivers lost the opportunity to buy a fire extinguisher in foreign currency stores when they sold them for 40 dollars because it was supposedly expensive., and yet now they regret it.

In recent months there have already been several cars set on fire throughout the country.

Something that many attribute to the poor technical conditions of many vehicles that circulate in tragic combination with the poor quality of the fuel.

At the beginning of April at least two cars caught fire in Havana, specifically in the Boyeros municipality.

One of the incidents occurred at the exit of the 100 and Boyeros bridge in the direction of Calzada de Vento and San Miguel, a busy area, with bus stops and street vendors.

The other fire was unleashed by the combustion of a Mercedes-Benz car that caught fire on Boyeros Avenue.

Previously, in January, a person was injured after a car caught fire in the middle of the street in the Havana neighborhood of El Vedado. In that case, in statements to CyberCuba A witness who witnessed the incident said that the car caught fire when a mechanic was trying to fix a defect.

Days before - also at the beginning of the year - a tourist car caught fire at night on 100th Street and Calzada de Vento, also in Havana.
