2020 Cagua fire
On 23 January 2020, a fire was started in the Agrícola del Lago reed bed in Cagua, Aragua state, Venezuela.[10] The young people who died had approached the area to hunt rabbits that were escaping from the fire, but a change in the wind direction spread the flames rapidly, and they were unable to get out of the burning plantation.They also drew attention to the government party official for Sucre Municipality, Miriam Pardo [es], who had spent millions of dollars to remodel a public square during her tenure.[11] In the area where the fire took place, there were no health centers prepared for this type of emergency, which meant that the victims had to be transferred to several more distant centers in the region, including the Cagua Clinic, the Central Hospital of Maracay and San José Social Service, also in Maracay.[13] On social media, some users posted messages asking for medical supplies to be brought to the health centers.
