Overview
- More than 20 firefighting crews with chemical-risk brigades and federal teams are battling the multi-facility blaze, which officials expect to be prolonged.
- The Ezeiza–Cañuelas highway was closed as health authorities urged residents to keep windows shut and turn off systems that draw air from outside.
- Hospitals reported roughly 20–24 injured, including a pregnant woman in intensive care for intoxication and a man treated for a heart attack, with most cases non-critical.
- Flames spread to multiple sites, including agrochemical, plastics and paint facilities, and local officials later named an Iron Mountain depot among those affected.
- The cause remains under investigation with no confirmation of early hypotheses, and airport managers said Ezeiza operations continued without changes.
