A massive fire at the Viva Dominicus Beach by Wyndham resort in Bayahibe, Dominican Republic, led to the evacuation of nearly 1,700 tourists and resulted in the death of an Italian woman. Authorities are working to assist affected tourists in returning home, as many lost their identification documents in the blaze. The hotel is coordinating with embassies to facilitate the process. Tourists have been relocated to hotels in Punta Cana and Bayahibe. The fire, which spread rapidly due to wind and thatched roofing, occurred while the resort was 84% occupied. Investigations into the cause of the woman's death are ongoing.
