Peruvian firefighters try to extinguish huge fire that has been burning for six days in Lima

The Peruvian Volunteer Fire Brigade released a video showing efforts to extinguish a huge fire that has been burning for six days in the historic center of Lima. The fire has affected several commercial buildings, the authorities said, adding that it is 90% contained, but that around 100 firefighters are still trying to bring equipment closer by clearing rubble from partially collapsed buildings.

According to the local government, it started in an eight-story building that was used as a warehouse for various products sold on the streets of another old part of Lima, Mesa Redonda. Lima authorities said the warehouse where the fire started was unlicensed and had been shut down three times.
