Fire Destroys Palm Trees in San Jose

The first fire of this year in San Jose burned 5 acres of palms trees. It started around 6:00 pm Monday and was extinguished by firefighters in a few hours. Unfortunately the next morning while supervising the area, civil protection officials and firefighters found a charred human body which hasn’t been identified yet.

UPDATE: This article originally stated that the fire was in Todos Santos, we have corrected the article to show San Jose as the correct location.
