Punta Zicatela Fire: Total Devastation in Mexican Beach Town

0:00Here's more world news for March 7th. A massive fire ripped through Punta Zicatela early Friday morning in southern Mexico's Wahaka State. The blaze destroyed more than 60 cabanas and shops in this quiet beach town, but no one was injured. Mayor Roman Valencia went live on Facebook hours later to survey the damage. He described a scene of total devastation with charred debris everywhere and confirmed that every shelter was gone. Locals quickly pitched in to help with cleanup efforts as rescue crews stamped out lingering hotspots. The destruction hit hard in a spot popular with everyday Mexican vacationers avoiding big resorts. Punta Zicatela sits just south of the busier Porto Escondito area, known for its laid back vibe and local crowds. Authorities now point to an electrical short circuit as the likely cause. The prosecutor's office found no evidence of accelerants, ruling out anything suspicious. DNN is brought to you by our sponsor. Head in, sound on, lights out.
