Ezeiza Industrial Blast Contained as Authorities Prepare Judicial Probe

Forensic inspections are slated for Monday under UFI No. 1 pending safe access.

Overview

  • Provincial civil defense said the blaze is contained but not fully extinguished, with crews continuing cooling operations and preventing spread beyond the complex.
  • More than 20 people were treated for injuries and most were discharged, with no deaths reported and a company executive who suffered a heart attack remaining under care in stable condition.
  • Municipal authorities reported roughly ten factories damaged or lost entirely, and local leaders began coordinating provincial support for affected firms.
  • Safety perimeters and traffic restrictions included closures on the EzeizaCañuelas highway, while air-quality checks found no widespread chemical contamination despite heavy smoke from burning tires.
  • A judicial investigation led by prosecutor Florencia Belloc of Ezeiza’s UFI No. 1 is underway, with preliminary reports pointing to a Logischem depot as the origin as the exact cause remains under investigation.
