Northern Mariana Islands.- On June 8, Imperial Pacific International <\/strong>suffered a fire<\/a> on the site where its Garapan casino hotel is being built. The fire did not damage the structure of the facility but some construction and insulation materials were lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to this,\u00a0the company now has security personnel <\/strong>manning\u00a0<\/strong>both the front and back entrances to the casino site on a full-time basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The news was revealed after Chief Judge Ramona V. Manglona <\/strong>requested a status report from IPI’s attorney Kevin T. Abikoff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his report, Abikoff said: “IPI has requested an incident report from the Saipan Fire Department, but has not yet received it.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the fire department, the incident was isolated to one area and there were no reported injuries or fatalities on the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
