A significant fire devastated a motorcycle shop in southern Rosario early Saturday morning, originating from an illicit electrical connection. The shop, known as Molinari Motos, was entirely engulfed in flames, prompting multiple fire brigades to work for over an hour to bring the fire under control. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, but the damage to the establishment was considerable, as detailed by the fire department in the aftermath of the incident.

The fire broke out around 7 AM at the intersection of Boulevard Seguí and Mariano Moreno, affecting the two-story building that housed both the showroom on the ground floor and the upper level, which suffered the most damage. Investigations revealed that the motorcycle shop had been using a clandestine connection to the electricity grid, leading to the fire. This discovery raises concerns about safety regulations and the potential dangers posed by unregulated electrical connections in commercial establishments.

The incident serves as a reminder of the risks associated with unauthorized electrical setups, particularly in the business sector. While this fire did not result in injuries, the considerable financial losses are likely to impact the business significantly. Authorities are expected to take further measures to address illegal connections and ensure compliance with safety standards to prevent similar incidents in the future.
