Cap Cana, Dominican Republic – A fire erupted on Wednesday afternoon in the Villas Caletón area of Cap Cana, damaging several of the resort’s earliest villas, according to an official statement from the hotel group.
The blaze began around 5:30 p.m., affecting structures primarily built with wood and thatched roofs, materials which contributed to the rapid spread of the flames.
