A huge fire consumes a home in the Mantilla neighborhood, Havana.

A large fire occurred this afternoon in a house in the Mantilla neighborhood, Arroyo Naranjo municipality, in Havana.

The dense column of smoke and the fire were visible from several points in the capital neighborhood, as seen in the Facebook group "Somos Mantilla."

Some users specified that the fire occurred on Republic Street and that the owner of the house is named Judith.

"A horror to see that up close without being able to do anything, how much sadness!" wrote a user.

"The block of my house, the best person in my block," added another internet user.

However, the causes of the disaster have not been revealed, only images of the enormous fire that has shocked the residents of that locality.

In June, a couple and their 21-year-old son died in Havana after a fire broke out in their home, allegedly caused by the explosion of an electric motorcycle.

The tragic event occurred on 62A Street between 23 and 25, in the Buenavista neighborhood of Playa municipality.

In the city of Camagüey, the explosion of an electric motorcycle caused a fire and the collapse of part of a house.

The house located at number 585 on Pobres Street, between San Esteban and Jaime, in the historic center of the city, burned down after a motorcycle exploded while its battery was charging, and which was next to a gasoline motorcycle.

Also, a short circuit caused a powerful fire in a multi-family building in Centro Habana, according to reports on social media.

Fortunately, no victims were reported and the fire was extinguished by the firefighters.

The occupants of a house in the Luyanó neighborhood in Diez de Octubre did not fare as well, as the explosion of a motorcycle claimed the lives of all the members of a family.
