Incendio en Zihuatanejo

It appears the fire was started by bottle rockets or a similar type of launched fireworks. The word “cohetes” is what is being used to describe the conflagration’s origin.

I just realized we also use the slang term “cuete” to refer to fireworks in general even though the original sources described them as “cohetes”. So apparently the fire was started by the careless use of fireworks whose sale is supposed to be prohibited here but vendors can be found easily at numerous locations. There is a new local hashtag going around: #NoMásCuetes
