Ensenada burns 
 
 
  
 
That's Papas and Beer and a few other stores right on Ruiz and Primera in the heart of Ensenada at 4:45PM today.

That looks like a bad fire.  Ensenada will come back, though.

Wow!!  Someone left the pot of beans on the stove way too long.    
  
 
I am glad to see that Ensenada has really nice fire fighting equipment on the scene, relatively quickly!

They may have missed a payment. Did they ever get hoses for the new trucks?

wow, this looks really bad! Looks like the flames are blowing AWAY from Hussongs or that place would be gone. 
 
Let's hope that nobody was hurt!

I wonder if these fires are related?   
 
Feds chasing fast-moving Hollywood arsonists 
New Year's is high time for serial arsonists, research shows, and Hollywood firefighters are seeing that phenomenon first hand as they chase potential
copy-catters who continued to set cars ablaze Saturday morning. 
 
13 new fires overnight tied to LA serial arsonist

It's a start, anyway.  For the people whose cars burned last night (13 in all), it will help them make a down payment on a new car. 
 
As for the Blvd. 2000 Burning Blazer, I wonder if it was a cooling issue or a case of arson.

Full coverage in Mexico is uncommon and really expensive.  Cars arn't financed so it's not mandatory. 
We can hope for the best.
