Overview
- A week after the massive blast, a renewed fire was detected in a warehouse next to Logischem at the Polígono Industrial Spegazzini, sending up a dense column of smoke and alarming nearby firms.
- Firefighters and Civil Defense are on site, with access to certain interiors delayed pending prosecutorial authorization, and local reports differ on how much intervention has been permitted.
- Forensic teams from the fire investigation division and the provincial ecological police finished collecting samples midweek, and prosecutor Florencia Belloc continues to direct the case.
- Employees’ accounts underpin a working hypothesis that a morning peroxide leak, insufficiently cleaned, ignited wooden pallets and interacted with red and white phosphorus stored nearby.
- The original explosion damaged roughly half of the park’s 25 companies and injured about 20–25 people, and highly combustible materials remain under the Buenos Aires provincial Environment Ministry’s custody.
