A large-scale fire affected the General Cabrera bioenergy plant in the Juárez Celman department, Córdoba, on Wednesday morning. The fire broke out around 7 a.m. on a public holiday, which did not prevent the rapid intervention of firefighters. Despite the intensity of the incident, no injuries were reported.
The flames caused significant material damage and complicated the extinguishing efforts due to the type of substance involved. The fire is fueled by peanut-derived material, which is highly flammable, prolonging the operation. Fire crews continue working in the area to prevent further spread.
One version indicates that the fire may have started after an explosion in a storage cell. However, the exact causes will only be known once the investigations are carried out. The work will continue for several hours, the fire department confirmed.
Firefighters from several localities are assisting with the operation
In the initial moments of the incident, crews from General Cabrera, General Deheza, and Carnerillo replied. As the hours passed, new reinforcements joined to contain the fire. Coordination among the different units made it possible to stop the fire from spreading to adjacent areas.
