Mexico City.- Strong flames emanated from the Merced market, causing a large column of visible smoke meters from the distance. Neighbors and locals came to the site to witness the moment when the different capital fire departments carry out the work to quell the accident.
So far, the causes of the fire and the number of victims are unknown. The market was full of people doing last-minute shopping for Christmas dinner. In some of the videos circulating on social networks you can see the cry of anguish of the traders, at the possibility of expressions and the anguish of losing more than their assets.
It is worth mentioning that some curious people continue to approach the area making it difficult to work about 50 firefighters who do their best to stop the fire before having human losses.
Fire is recorded on the mainship of the Merced. The power supply of the area is cut off. Allows the passage of emergency bodies and @Bomberos_CDMX pic.twitter.com/R82uYxQw97 — Secretariat of Integral Risk Management and PC (@SGIRPC_CDMX)
