Fire Alarm at Ezeiza Airport: Smoke Disrupts Flights!

A major fire broke out in fields adjacent to Ministro Pistarini Ezeiza Airport on Thursday, January 9. The heavy smoke from the fire negatively impacted air traffic, as firefighters rushed to bring the situation under control.

Intensive Efforts by Fire Brigades

Six teams of PFA firefighters collaborated with the Ezeiza Fire Department to combat the flames. Fueled by strong winds, the fire spread rapidly, posing risks to surrounding areas.

Thick Smoke Disrupts Flights

The dense smoke caused by the fire significantly reduced visibility at Ezeiza Airport. As a precautionary measure, some flights were rescheduled. Airline officials stated they are waiting for the fire to be fully extinguished for operations to return to normal.

Investigation Launched Into the Cause of the Fire

Authorities are continuing to investigate the cause of the fire. Agricultural activities in the area and dry weather conditions are among the factors increasing the fire risk. A detailed statement about the incident is expected in the coming days.
