Argentina, February 4, 2013

Before 2 pm today, exploded in Mar del Plata a floating dock that was on the south jetty of the seaside city. The causes of the incident remain unknown, while three fire crews are working at the site.

Due to the intense explosion smoke dispersed, so they requested the presence of additional fire personnel for any contingency that may arise.

Also approached four ambulances in case there are injured at the scene. So far, there were reported no injuries or fatalities.

The yard area is controlled by the Integrated Port Services and the floating dock belongs to foreign capital, dedicated to ship repair, as published LaNoticia1.
