translated from Spanish: Fierce fire in a paper warehouse in the city of Bahía Blanca

The fire, for reasons that are trying to establish, began after 7 in the property located at the intersection of Granada, Spain, Fitz Roy and Paunero streets in the San Martín neighborhood, 15 blocks from the center of the city. After a call to the emergency service, crews from the central fire stations of the Buenos Aires Police, volunteers from Ingeniero White and General Daniel Cerri, went to the scene. Nine fire brigades were needed to control the fire. The tragic event that lasted more than eleven hours, destroyed the property of a company dedicated to the recycling of paper in the buenos aires city of Bahía Blanca.
Police sources told Telam that “Due to the situation, a family residing in a neighboring house was evacuated in a preventive manner and other neighbors of the sector were alerted to remain in their homes due to the intensity of the smoke.”
The firefighters also worked with the contribution of an escalator crane and different road machinery to put out the flames of the paper bales and run them from place.
From the scene they reported that “the fire caused material damage, such as destruction of vehicles that were on the property, including trucks and self-lifters, the sheet metal roof of the tank and several walls, without any injuries being reported.”
