Tragedia en Godoy Cruz: un hombre murió en el incendio de su vivienda

Overview

  • In Capitán Bermúdez a suspected motorcycle blast ignited a pre-dawn fire that killed 23-year-old Alan Matías Palacios and his 2-year-old son Ginno while critically wounding mother Agustina.
  • Bomberos Voluntarios de Capitán Bermúdez and SIES teams rescued three survivors, including a grandmother with minor injuries, and forensic units are analyzing blast patterns at the scene.
  • In Godoy Cruz, Mendoza authorities are investigating the cause of a house fire that claimed the life of a 74-year-old man and left his two grandchildren unharmed, marking the province’s sixth major blaze this month.
  • Mexico City’s Tacuba fire station extinguished a kitchen fire at La Casa de los Abuelos in Polanco, likely triggered by a fryer failure, causing significant damage but no injuries.
