Mexico City Metro PCCI fire

Location| Offices of the Collective Transportation System, Calle de Delicias, Mexico City
Deaths| 1
Non-fatal injuries| 31

A fire at the PCCI (Spanish: Puesto Central de Control I — Central Control Center I) of the Mexico City Metro took place on 9 January 2021 at 05:48 hours at the PCCI building.[1] A female police officer was killed and 31 others were injured, mainly due to smoke poisoning.[2]

## Events[edit]

The incident occurred at 05:48 am (local time) on 9 January 2021, when two power electrical substations caused a short circuit within the Central Control Center I (or No. 1), immediately starting a fire of considerable proportions; the fire alarm at the site was immediately activated and several workers on the center attempted to escape.[3]

On the other hand, the Mexico City Metro, which at that time was preparing to start service that day, was unable to do so on lines 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6; it was reported that the service would be suspended temporarily while the fire in the plant was controlled and the damage was evaluated.[citation needed] Passengers who required the service at that time found it difficult to move, so the Mexico City Police helped with transportation in patrol cars, while an official statement was expected.[citation needed]

The Head of Government of Mexico City, Claudia Sheinbaum, reported through Twitter that the fire was controlled at 8:45 a.m.[4]
