Larcomar fire disaster

This is a recent incident, information subject to updating

On Wednesday 16 November of 2016, a major fire broke out in Larcomar. The fire is believed to be started in the UVK cinema, and quickly spread into most of the mall. Although the cause of the fire was initially unknown to local authorities, the Peruvian National Police (Policía Nacional de Perú) eventually concluded that the origin of the fire was from an external element. This was concluded when a video tape (recorded by a security camera) showed a man (Luis Raúl Salazar) walking out of the movie theatre in a suspicious way. Although he initially surrendered to the police, he later negated his involvement in the fire. Later on however, the DIESE (División de Investigatciones Especiales de Seguridad del Estado), an government agency put in place to investigate major incidents and safety risks to citizens, concluded that the fire was actually started when a short circuit blew out in one of the movie theatre rooms, therefore clearing any charges the prosecution had named. In total, it is estimated that more than 200 people were evacuated from the mall, and that 12 different fire fighting units arrived at Larcomar during the fire. There were a total of 4 deaths caused by the fire: Joel Mario Condori Rejas, Zoledad Moreima Oliveros Trujillo, Sonia Garciela Repetto Chamchumbi, and Ana Betsabé Torres Cochachiín.
