The fire at the Cabo San Lucas city dump continues to challenge local firefighters, but progress is being made. Starting yesterday, thick smoke from the blaze reached the city due to shifting weather conditions, prompting officials to urge residents to take precautions. Citizens were advised to close doors and windows and wear face masks if necessary to minimize health risks.
By last night, containment efforts were well underway, with firefighters working tirelessly to bring the fire under control. However, as of 19 hours ago, the situation remained critical. The fire near La Candelaria required what was described as a “superhuman effort” from our local heroes, who have now been on the frontlines for over 24 hours straight. The call for solidarity and support from neighboring fire departments has grown louder, highlighting the immense physical and emotional toll on these brave individuals.
The latest update, just two hours ago, brings a glimmer of hope. The fire has been isolated, and control efforts are continuing. Special recognition has been given to all those involved, particularly the armed forces, who have played a crucial role in the response.
Let’s continue to support and appreciate our firefighters and emergency teams as they work tirelessly to keep Cabo safe.
