Bacalar, Q.R. — An ambulance and firetruck were sent to the scene of a structure blaze Saturday in Huay Pix in the municipality of Bacalar. The emergency vehicles arrived in response to a food stall that caught fire.
The small structure was completely consumed by the early evening blaze that quickly ate through the dry wood walls. The owner of the stall called 9-1-1 after being unable to control the flames.
The building was used as a stall to sell food along a section of the federal highway. While firemen were able to put out the fire and prevent it from spreading, they were unable to save the stall.
It is not clear exactly how the fire started.
