Historic 'Libertad' Naval Building Fire and Tragic SAME Ambulance Overturn: All You Need to Know
I was truly shocked by the recent news of a major fire at Argentina's iconic 'Libertad' naval building. What's even more heartbreaking is hearing that a SAME ambulance overturned while responding to the scene, reminding us of the difficulties and dangers faced by emergency responders. Let's delve into the details together.

Hello everyone! ☕️ The recent news from Buenos Aires, Argentina, really caught my attention. In particular, the story of a fire breaking out at the historic building of the Armada (Navy) and, tragically, an ambulance getting into an accident while rushing to the scene, was truly shocking. While such incidents can happen anywhere, anytime, hearing about them always leaves me with mixed feelings.
Tragedy Strikes the Historic 'Libertad' Building According to local media reports like Clarín, this fire occurred at the 'Libertad' building, a key and historic symbol of the Argentine Navy. Located on Comodoro Py Avenue in the Retiro district of Buenos Aires, this building isn't just an office; it encapsulates the very history of the Argentine Navy, which makes the incident all the more regrettable. The sight of flames rising must have been a great shock to many who witnessed it. While any building fire is frightening, the damage feels even greater when it's a structure with such a long history.
Tragic Accident During Emergency Response: SAME Ambulance Overturns What makes this incident even more heartbreaking is the overturning of a SAME ambulance en route to the firefighting operation. As indicated by the article title 'Combaten un incendio en el Libertad de Retiro y una ambulancia del SAME volcó cuando iba al operativo' (They combat a fire in Libertad de Retiro and a SAME ambulance overturned while going to the operation), an ambulance belonging to SAME (Argentine Emergency Medical Attention System) reportedly overturned while rushing to the scene during the active fire suppression. An accident like this in an emergency situation is a truly unexpected tragedy. My heart feels heavy that such a thing happened to paramedics who risk their lives to save others. I hope there were no casualties from the accident. 😢
Tensions in a Key Buenos Aires Area Multiple media outlets reported in detail that this fire occurred at the Navy building located on Comodoro Py Avenue. As headlines like 'Incendio en un edificio de la Armada en la avenida Comodoro Py' (Fire in a Navy building on Comodoro Py Avenue) suggest, this area is densely packed with major government offices and facilities in Argentina, implying that extra caution was likely exercised in suppressing the fire. The emphasis on this building being 'historic' indicates concerns not just about property damage, but also about the loss of cultural heritage. We will need to continue monitoring the news to find out the cause of the fire and the extent of the damage.
