MOTUL, Yucatán, (November 10, 2021).- On Monday, some children who played with “bombitas” (Firecrackers), caused a fire in the Palapa of the “La Frontera” Cantina, located on Calle 19 and 18 of the Ucí community, leaving significant material damage.
Around 12:30 a.m., the owner of the aforementioned Cantina, Agustín León, reported the fire to the Municipal Police.
The agents of a Civil Protection brigade arrived at the site, which began to put out the fire and removed a tank of LP gas from the kitchen of the Cantina.
Minutes later, the firefighters arrived at the property, who finished putting out the flames, but the palapa was a total loss.

In the vicinity of the palapa, “bombitas” known as “lagrimitas” and pieces of paper from other pyrotechnic products were found.
