¡El fuego consumió 3 edificios y decenas de puestos! Estas son las causas del incendio en la Merced

The fire in La Merced not only left shocking images… it also revealed a worrying chain of accumulated risks. After more than 10 hours of work, authorities confirmed that the fire consumed at least three buildings and dozens of stalls, affecting one of the most important commercial areas in Mexico City. The director of the Fire Department explained that the blaze may have originated from an electrical overload, combined with irregular installations and the accumulation of highly flammable materials, such as plastics, fabrics, and chemicals. In addition, the presence of gas tanks and possible fireworks in some stalls complicated fire control, causing the flames to spread rapidly among makeshift structures. Although no fatalities were reported, several people were treated for smoke inhalation, while dozens of vendors lost their livelihoods in a matter of hours. Now, authorities are thoroughly investigating the incident and are not ruling out sanctions, while concerns grow about safety conditions in the capital's markets.
