Mayor of Maipú announces fire litigation and says tire collection worked without permissionIn addition, the community head, Cathy Barriga, said the municipality was aware of a demonstration that included a tire burn this morning.
"Intentional" fire at storage in Maipu
On Thursday 30th, a large fire started in a stockpile of disused tires of the “Famaprica” Company, located in the sector of Rinconada, in the municipality of Maipú. It was estimated that 3.000 tires were on fire this Thursday morning. 32 people were evacuated and 3 volunteers with minor injuries were reported. It is believed that the fire was intentional and the Mayor said authorities will take legal action against those who are responsible.
The fire in Maipu is a huge ecological disaster, and Santiago was deeply affected by a toxic cloud released by the burning tires. Sadly the fire doesn't look like its going to die down any time soon.
