Overview

• Sixty firefighters supported by 15 units from the Heroico Cuerpo de Bomberos extinguished the blaze in a 600 m² warehouse after hours of remotion and cooling operations.
• A Police Auxiliary officer of the SSC rescued a duck from inside the burning factory and the bird is now under the care of the Brigada de Vigilancia Animal.
• Authorities evacuated around 250 people as a preventive measure and conducted cooling operations on nearby buildings storing flammable materials.
• The FGJ CDMX has launched an investigation into the fire’s cause, with locals suggesting a wayward firework from a patronal festival as a potential trigger.
• Conflicting reports on the warehouse’s contents—ranging from mattress materials to plush toys—have left damage and fuel-load assessments uncertain.
