Casino catches fire as Argentinian festival goes sideways

An ordinary celebration held in Mar del Plata, Argentina, nearly became a total catastrophe. An emblematic theme, like politics or the environment, is burned as part of the annual ceremony. This year, stray embers ignited the roof of a historic structure that houses a casino and a culture center. The rooms below were unaffected by the fire, which only damaged a portion of the casino's roof. As firefighters battled the flames, local media outlets reported that only minor water damage occurred.
