A fire that started at about 4:50 p.m. this Sunday completely consumed a mattress factory in Esquipulas de Palmares, in Alajuela.
Pamela Rojas, Supervisor of the Fire Department, reported that despite the efforts of the personnel, the flames consumed the 500-square-meter structure.
The flammable material in the factory helped the fire spread faster. Several fire departments are still working on the scene and no fatal victims are reported.
