Multiple pyrotechnic accidents in Mexico have caused severe injuries, specifically in Ahome and Villa de Pozos. In Villa de Pozos, an individual sustained third-degree burns to the right arm.

In the Bacorehuis community of Ahome, Sinaloa, an 11-year-old boy suffered third-degree burns covering approximately 40 percent of his body, including his face, neck, chest, and arms. The accident occurred when sparks from fireworks, specifically ‘cebollitas’, came into contact with gasoline during a motorcycle refueling process. 

The child was transported to the Hospital General IMSS-Bienestar in Los Mochis and placed under intensive care. While medical professionals estimate a recovery period of at least one month, organizations such as the Club Shriners are monitoring the situation and considering a potential transfer to Sacramento, California, for specialized treatment.
