Residential fires have been reported in different regions of Nicaragua. In Managua, a fire in the José Dolores Estrada neighborhood caused total material losses for a resident. Local reports suggest the blaze may have been triggered by the burning of cables to extract copper for recycling. Firefighters contained the flames and rescued a dog from the property.

In Tipitapa, a wooden and zinc residence in the San Benito community was destroyed by fire. Witnesses reported a heated argument between the homeowner and his spouse prior to the incident. National Police are investigating the matter under the presumption that the fire was intentionally set.
