Mexican Cities Report 'Saldo Blanco' for Nochebuena and Christmas After Holiday Safety Operations

Authorities credit interagency deployments for quiet nights despite seasonal hazards.

Overview

  • Tijuana logged no deaths or major crimes, though Protección Civil reported four pyrotechnic burn injuries—one adult and three minors—with treatment for non‑life‑threatening wounds.
  • Strong winds in Tijuana reached about 60 km/h, toppling billboards, trees, poles and cables and leaving roughly 100 neighborhoods without power as CFE worked to restore service.
  • Hermosillo police and firefighters reported no serious traffic crashes, while Bomberos handled 19 fires and one woman suffered a minor hand injury while trying to put out a rubbish fire suspected to have started from pyrotechnics.
  • Mexicali recorded no high‑impact crimes after deploying 300 municipal agents and 10 roadside aid points, issuing 226 traffic fines, responding to 45 crashes and detaining 26 people for various offenses.
  • Tampico closed the 24–25 December period with a clean balance under the 'Navidad Segura' plan, attending a bee swarm and a minor dog bite, and reporting a few nonfatal traffic incidents.
