Fire at El Carrizal Camping Destroys About 21 Cabins as Probe Examines Cause

A fiscal team led by Germán Santarelli is examining whether reported gas and fuel blasts figured into how the fire began.

Overview

  • Authorities now place the damage at roughly 21 cabins lost, a higher count than the initial reports of six units.
  • The blaze erupted around 9 p.m., the site manager called 911, and multiple firefighter crews worked for about three hours to extinguish it.
  • No injuries were reported, with material losses extending to vehicles and boats kept at the complex.
  • Witnesses described several explosions tied to gas cylinders and fuel stored for boat motors during the fire.
  • The investigation remains open under fiscal Germán Santarelli, with early assessments mentioning a possible electrical fault that has not been confirmed, and owners say insurance for wooden cabins will not cover the losses.
