Cozumel, Q.R. — The FGE says they are investigating an early morning fire that left a Cozumel company destroyed. On Sunday, the State Attorney General (FGE) pointed to an electrical fault as their first line of investigation into the fire that left Aviomar Adventours in ruins.
According to the company, the fire happened during the night of December 20 and is “still pending on clarification”. They reported that most of their equipment and part of their operational facilities were affected by the blaze.
“Aviomar Adventours informs the public, partners, and clients that during the night of December 20, our ATV base camp in Cozumel has suffered an incident still pending on clarification, resulting in a fire that caused significant damage to most of our equipment and part of the operational facilities,” they said in a released statement Sunday afternoon.
“Fortunately, no injuries were reported, and the situation was contained without affecting nearby communities.
“We are currently working closely with the local authorities to follow all corresponding legal procedures and investigations to determine the origin of the incident. As a precautionary and responsible measure, Aviomar’s ATV operations will be temporarily suspended until further notice.

“We appreciate the understanding and support of our clients, partners, and the community. Further updates will be shared as soon as additional information becomes available.
