A fire broke out Monday in the parking area of a vacant building on Arquímedes Avenue in Polanco Quinta Sección, in Mexico City’s Miguel Hidalgo borough.

Initial reports indicated that the flames began inside a warehouse where several wooden doors were stored. The material helped the fire spread through the area.

Traffic police from Mexico City’s Secretariat of Citizen Security supported civil protection personnel and the Heroic Fire Department with extinguishers. Emergency crews worked to put out the blaze and prevent it from reaching other parts of the building.

No injuries were reported. The response operation affected the far-right lane of Arquímedes Avenue, and traffic officers managed vehicle movement around the site.
