Ezeiza, Argentina – November 15, 2025 – A series of powerful explosions ripped through an industrial park in Ezeiza, located just outside Buenos Aires, Argentina, on Friday night, sparking a massive fire that has left over 20 people injured. The incident occurred on November 14, 2025, and firefighters are still working to extinguish the blaze as of early Saturday morning.
“The explosions and fire breaking out in the different factories are huge,” said Gaston Granados, mayor of Ezeiza, adding that the windows of his own home were shattered by the force of the blasts. Families in the surrounding area were evacuated as a precaution.
Hospital director Carlos Santoro reported that his facility has received 22 injured patients, including one suffering a heart attack and a pregnant woman with respiratory issues.
The fire has proven difficult to contain due to the nature of the materials stored in the industrial park. “It is a complex fire. It will be a long fire,” stated Fabian Garcia, the civil defense director for Buenos Aires province.
Local media report that at least five factories were impacted by the explosions and fire, including facilities producing tires, chemical products, and other goods. One factory building has already been reduced to ashes. The industrial park is located near Argentina’s busiest international airport. The cause of the explosions is currently under investigation.
