In the commercial emporium of Gamarra it is impossible to attend to an emergency due to the irresponsibility of the merchants, also of the municipal authorities who have not taken adequate measures and the people who go to buy things and take care of themselves. It seems that they forgot the Round Table tragedy.

A fire department vehicle tried to cross between bars and the boiling of the chaotic end of the year has begun. Tracks and paths taken over by a tide of street vendors that lost valuable minutes to attend to an emergency.
Martín Sosa, chief of the La Victoria Fire Companypointed out that the reality is worrying like every end of the year. Valuable minutes are lost when they find the roads occupied by street commerce.
“Lack of road education for people. “It would help a lot if each person internalized that the emergency was for one of their relatives; no one would like the unit to be delayed,” he pointed out in Cuarto Poder.
They occupy the sidewalks and tracks, the chaos aggravates emergency response. However, the merchants who sell their products on the street say that if they don’t work they don’t eat. “It’s a way of working, if they throw out the street vendors there will be more tuberculosis patients,” said a street worker.
What is worrying is the installation of food stalls and beauty salons in the middle of the street, in addition to cardboard box deposit which makes it difficult to evacuate people before an emergency.
