On a day marked by adverse weather conditions, more than 200 fires were reported in the state of Nuevo León.
Local authorities reported the arrest of 10 suspects for intentionally causing some of these fires.
Extreme weather conditions and rapid spread of fires
The entry of a dry cold front accompanied by strong winds created an environment conducive to the rapid spread of fires.
These extreme weather conditions hindered containment and extinguishing efforts by emergency services.
Authorities' response and arrests
The governor of Nuevo León, Samuel García, described the day as "atypical" due to the high number of fires reported.
During a press conference, he confirmed the arrest of 10 individuals suspected of starting some of these fires in the Monterrey Metropolitan Area.
García emphasized the seriousness of the situation and the need to act firmly against those responsible.
The mayor of García, Manuel Guerra Cavazos, also spoke about the events and thanked the public for their cooperation in identifying the alleged perpetrators.
"A thousand thanks, my beautiful people, for teaming up with the city", expressed Guerra Cavazos on his social media.
