Overview
- The blaze erupted Tuesday evening at a Grupo TyC facility at Rucci and Liniers in Valentín Alsina, with reports differing on the exact start time.
- Officials say the fire was contained to the warehouse, preventing spread to adjacent structures, though parts of the building face collapse risk.
- Up to 120 firefighters from Lanús, Avellaneda and neighboring districts deployed with 18–20 tanker units under a formal incident command.
- Police, ambulances and civil defense supported evacuations and perimeter control as dense black smoke prompted window‑closing advisories and street closures on Rucci.
- No civilian injuries were reported; the Lanús Este fire chief said four firefighters experienced low blood pressure during the extreme heat conditions.
