Overview
- A fire broke out in a 12th-floor apartment of a building at Avenida Pueyrredón and Tucumán, prompting an emergency evacuation late Wednesday night.
- Firefighters from Bomberos de la Ciudad, police and SAME ambulances sealed off Pueyrredón and led residents out of the building.
- At least one person was reported dead and officials say the cause of the blaze remains under investigation.
- Oriana Junco, who lives on the second floor, was evacuated and treated for smoke inhalation with oxygen while describing the evacuation and earlier complaints about humidity and chaotic electrical connections in the building.
- Junco’s account comes as background to her separate, ongoing legal actions against surgeon Aníbal Lotocki over alleged long-term complications from past cosmetic procedures, a matter distinct from the fire inquiry.
