Civil defense crews tried to enter the area and they
were there within the first hours of the incident,
but they were prevented for about an hour. During
this hour, we are talking about a market filled
with wood and filled with plastic material. The fire
escalated in a very large way and then it spread
to a commercial building belonging to the municipality containing dozens
of shops. We are talking about a fire that
affected 200 shops and stalls in the city center.
