Location: Various hotels on the south-east coast
I was standing outside the hotel talking to the security dude when I noticed smoke coming from the roof 2 doors down. He didn't believe me at 1st , but when I insisted it was a real emergency , he stepped out beside me, took one look and immediately started yelling for people to get away from the building. Within 5 minutes, the police, fire dept & tv cameras were on the scene. The blaze covered the top of about 4 businesses from the casino to the corner. It was so hot that I was sweating while taking pictures from across the street. The police taped off the whole block for what seemed like about 3 hours. It was cool 8) seeing myself on the news that night when I got to Jaco! It's possible that I was the 1st person to notice the smoke... I didn't notice anyone else checking it out. The local shops should take up a collection & cover my mongering expenses on my next trip down. Don't ya think? Seriously, The fire was caused by a busted gas line and did a helluva alot of damage. Did anyone else here happen to see it? I will post the pics I took in a few days after I get them developed.

Fire destroy's landmark restaurant


By the A.M. Costa Rica staff

A fire that broke out after midnight destroys the famous Mariscar restaurant and damaged the Chelles next door.
The fire apparently started at the Mariscar restaurant then spread to other buildings on the block.

There were no immediate reports of any deaths but many were suffering from smoke inhalation and had to be taken to the hospital.
The fire department was totally incapable to handle such a large blaze as told by one owner of the hotel.
There were no comments by San Jose officials.

There were hundreds of worried and angry people in the street some wearing nothing more than a blanket.

The fire consumed most of the block and the heat, fire and smoke could be seen for miles.
It took firemen all night to extinguish the blaze and smoke was still coming out at 6:00 am
One employee said " this is the worst thing that she has ever seen and does not know what she is going to do."

It's a complete loss but we will rebuild said the owner.
