Overview
- Firefighters and civil protection teams extinguished the blaze at La Soldadera in Tabacalera near the Monument to the Revolution and inspected the multi‑level building.
- Authorities attribute the incident to an ignited leak in an LP‑gas ambient heater that interacted with accumulated grease in the extraction system.
- SGIRPC reports 50 people were evacuated from the restaurant and 150 from a penthouse in the same property as a precaution.
- Damage was limited to two tables, a banner, chairs, and grease in the hood, and flames briefly re‑ignited and scorched a nearby palm before being suppressed.
- Officials said there were no major injuries, noting one person was headed to hospital for intoxication, while some outlets cited higher evacuation totals and at least 10 injuries; videos from WebCams México captured the blast and nearby traffic was briefly disrupted.
