Market fires in Acapulco and Cuernavaca

Overview

Major fires recently struck central markets in Mexico, specifically impacting Acapulco and Cuernavaca. In Cuernavaca, a fire at the Adolfo López Mateos (ALM) market prompted calls for improved industrial safety infrastructure, as vendors reportedly lacked basic emergency equipment.
