00:00The Trinidad and Tobago Fire Service is investigating an explosion on the top floor of the RM Plaza, High Street,
00:07San Fernando.
00:08On Monday afternoon, an explosion at the Skyline Bar shook the building, sending tenants and employees running for safety.
00:17Owner of the plaza and president of the Greater San Fernando Area Chamber of Commerce, Kiran Singh,
00:23says the bar is the only business place significantly damaged, and he hopes tenants can return within a week, pending
00:30clearance from the relevant authorities.
00:34I'm not sure how many workers were in the bar at the time, but the bar was closed when the
00:39explosion occurred.
00:41The rest of the building remains closed until the fire service is able to determine that we're allowed to re
00:46-enter, and then businesses will be allowed to re-open.
00:49The Antec has cut the power to the building after the explosion, of course.
00:54The bar and the food court are situated on the top floor.
00:58Responding to speculations that a gas leak might have been responsible for the explosion,
01:03Singh says he will leave the investigation on finding a cause for the explosion to the relevant agencies.
01:10A gas scent was detected in the food court approximately a week and a half ago.
01:16Ramco was called out on an emergency call to rectify the problem, which they did.
01:21No gas scent was detected thereafter.
01:24Ramco was called yesterday evening after the explosion to come to ensure that the gas supply was cut off to
01:32the building.
01:33Our security did ensure that the gas supply was cut off after the explosion.
01:37We can't determine as to what caused the explosion in the bar.
01:40Relax.
01:40Press this out.
01:40We have a big counterme он who is damaged from plataforma to the unseren and the state sped off byək
