Authorities adopt a new strategy to put out fire in Amuay

Another shift of firefighters will be introducing a new strategy to put out the fire still blazing in Venezuelan refinery Amuay, located in the state of Falcón, north-west Venezuela, after its explosion early on Saturday, said a group of workers from state-run oil company Pdvsa volunteering in the event.

The workers informed that the situation was under control and dismissed further explosions despite imminent flames arising from the burning of fuel.

Meanwhile, Corazones Peluditos, an animal protection foundation has been in the area to assist animals harmed by the explosion.

Ismenia Arria, president of the foundation, has informed eight veterinarians have been assisting the animals.
