Overview
- A large blaze broke out at La Anónima’s logistics depot on Tres Arroyos early Tuesday and quickly consumed most of the warehouse, producing explosions and a dense smoke column visible across the Alto Valle.
- Firefighters from Cipolletti and multiple Río Negro and Neuquén towns mounted a regional operation using tankers and heavy equipment to control flames, cool hot spots, and prevent spread.
- All staff on site were evacuated and authorities report no fatalities or serious injuries, though some workers and firefighters received precautionary medical attention for smoke exposure.
- The structure suffered major collapse and extensive loss of stored merchandise, with preliminary estimates describing material damage as multimillion in scale.
- La Anónima is cooperating with police and emergency agencies, has begun rerouting regional supplies through other logistics centers, and officials say criminalistics teams will carry out technical peritaje once entry is safe.
