A powerful fire destroyed a casino in Mexico

A major fire broke out in a casino in Mexico. The building collapsed like a house of cards.

In the Mexican state of Sinaloa, a fire destroyed a casino and a trampoline park in a shopping mall in the center of the city of Culiacan. People were urgently evacuated from the building, there were no casualties. According to preliminary data, one person received burns and was hospitalized.

Emergency services are working at the scene. Eyewitnesses are posting videos showing how most of the building is engulfed in flames, and a thick column of black smoke rises into the sky. Part of the structure collapsed.

Presumably, the cause of the rapid spread of the fire was a flammable material containing plastic, which was found inside the trampoline center. An investigation has been launched. Civil Protection Director Roy Navarrete ruled out arson as the cause of the fire.
