An explosion and fire in Ezeiza's industrial zone on Friday night shook the area, damaging nearby homes without any fatalities. Figures like musician Paz Martínez and footballer Franco Armani shared their experiences of panic and relief. Industrial parks clarified the incident occurred outside their premises and that the emergency response was swift.
On Friday, November 15, 2025, around nighttime, a powerful explosion followed by a fire occurred in Ezeiza's Polígono Industrial, an open area external to the industrial parks of Ezeiza and Carlos Spegazzini. According to a joint statement from these parks' administrations, the blast did not happen within their facilities, and no human lives were lost. Individuals transported for medical attention were discharged, as reported by health authorities.
The emergency response was immediate: firefighters from the parks were the first to arrive, with three fire trucks coordinating with municipal teams and Civil Defense. Internal protocols were activated, providing water from tanks up to half their capacity to supply the units. Ambulances and additional resources were made available, highlighting collaboration among agencies.
The impact was felt in surrounding neighborhoods. Musician Paz Martínez recounted the 'desperate moment' he experienced: 'I never felt anything like that,' describing the loud bang that shook his neighborhood and the damage to local houses. Meanwhile, River Plate goalkeeper Franco Armani issued a statement after damage to his home: 'It was a complex night but the whole family is fine,' thanking supporters for their concern over the fire in the industrial park.
The administrations requested correction of erroneous reports placing the incident inside Ezeiza's Industrial Park, stressing that both sites remain operational and out of danger. They thanked firefighters, security forces, medical staff, and provincial and municipal authorities for the swift intervention, and committed to aiding investigations.
