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.

In Acapulco, a blaze destroyed approximately 90 stalls in the footwear and flower sections of the Central Market. Following the incident, Mayor Leticia Lozano Zavala inspected the site alongside military and fire department officials to assess material damages. Ongoing efforts include cooling operations, debris removal, and scheduled meetings with affected merchants to address their needs.
