Okay, Acapulco, let's just admit that fires seem to have a bit of a soft spot for you. But hey, at least this one's providing a prime example of community spirit, right?

Flames are licking at the trees in the upper reaches of the Dragos neighborhood, fueled by pesky winds in the El Veladero National Park. That's the beautiful parkland that surrounds the whole port, for those not in the know. It's taken more than four hours to even partially wrangle this blazing beast!

Who's on the scene, you ask? Let's just say it's becoming quite the party. Hats off to the Secretariat of Comprehensive Risk Management and Civil Protection. They've been leading the charge, with backup from the Secretariat of National Defense AND the National Forestry Commission. Our valiant, leafy-green-loving firefighters.
