One day after the tragic fire in Caseros, where three firefighters lost their lives, another two accidents were registered on Wednesday morning in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Palermo and in the Buenos Aires town of San Isidro, where a woman died.
The fatal fire broke out in a villa located on 100 Santa Rita street, almost on the corner of Sucre, a few meters from the Boulogne hospital, where the owner of the house lost her life, while the rest of the occupants were rescued.
