At least Two people were injured in a fire that broke out this afternoon on the ground floor of a building located in the Buenos Aires district of Palermo.
Among the injured are an elderly woman and a firefighter, who were treated on the spot for smoke inhalation and the lady had to provide him with oxygen. Later, both were transferred to Fernández Hospital.
The accident occurred in a building located on the street Beruti al 4500between Justo Santa María de Oro and Godoy Cruz.
Police sources specified GlobeLiveMedia that the building consists of commercial premises on the ground floor and apartments spread over 8 floors.
According to the first investigations, in the garage of the place there would be a high voltage electrical panel, in which an igneous process would develop. In addition, 20 meters from the access to the building is a transformation chamber producing explosions.
While firefighters are busy evacuating the inhabitants of the building, videos flood social networks warning of the extent of the fire: a thick cloud of black smoke is seen from different parts of the city.
