Overview
- The fire erupted around 12:30 p.m. in an air-conditioning unit that short-circuited and ignited nearby cables and furniture on the ground floor of Neura’s two-story studio.
- Bomberos de la Ciudad, Policía de la Ciudad and SAME crews arrived within minutes to evacuate two staff to a rooftop terrace and contain flames that briefly spread to adjacent residences.
- Live transmission of Letra Chica was cut off mid-air when smoke infiltrated the studio, prompting an abrupt switch to alternative footage and confusion on set.
- After declaring no serious injuries, Neura Media shifted its broadcast later that afternoon to neighboring Carajo’s facilities, with hosts like Sergio “Tronco” Figliuolo and Alejandro Fantino thanking Gordo Dan for the emergency support.
- Authorities have secured the scene and opened a formal investigation into conflicting origin reports, and Neura plans to restore full operations at its Palermo building by early next week.
