The mayor of Tres de Febrero, Diego Valenzuela, declared this noon the state of “municipal mourning” and expressed his regret on Twitter, expressing “enormous pain for the death” of Ragazoni and Fedegriy for the severe injuries of Silva.

After evacuating the building’s occupants, the fire was brought under control, but three of the firefighters were affected by smoke and fire, and two of them died.

As a result, a legal case was initiated under the heading of “fire” in Fiscal Unit 7 of the San Martín Judicial Department, in charge of the prosecutor Diana Mayko.
