This afternoon, two warehouses at the Norlog logistics company's site in the Benavídez Industrial Park, located along route 9 in Tigre, Argentina, were completely destroyed by fire. The blaze reportedly started around 3 PM, sending a thick plume of smoke visible from several kilometers away. Local firefighters received the emergency call and mobilized at least seven fire truck units, alongside industrial specialists, to battle the fire. They indicated that the exact cause of the blaze will be investigated once it has been extinguished.

The location of the fire is notably near kilometer 37 on route 9, adjacent to Avenida Presidente Perón. According to police sources, the fire originated in one of the warehouses where appliances were stored, quickly spreading to a second warehouse that contained wine. Fire crews worked diligently to contain the flames and prevent further damage to the surrounding facilities. As the community watches these events unfold, the implications of such a significant fire in a logistics hub raise concerns about potential losses for the Norlog company and the safety protocols in place for industrial storage.

The incident not only highlights challenges related to fire safety in industrial areas but also brings to focus the emergency response capabilities and preparedness for such emergencies. These kinds of events can have serious ramifications, not just for the businesses directly affected but for the entire local economy that relies on industrial operations for jobs and services. As investigation into the cause continues, local authorities may also look at regulatory measures regarding fire preparedness to prevent future incidents like this from occurring.
