The disaster killed at least 291[1] people and injured at least another 134.[2] OriginIn 2001, the Mesa Redonda shopping center, located in Central Lima, consisted of largely of wood and adobe houses lining narrow streets. In December, fireworks merchants were known to sell their goods for holiday celebrations.[3] Wary of the danger, the municipal government of Lima declared the area an "emergency zone."[3] The fire began at about 7:30 PM on the night of 29 December when a fireworks display created a chain reaction, setting off the fireworks of other nearby vendors.[4] A spark from the demonstration had landed on a stockpile of fireworks, creating the initial explosion.[5] The aftermath created a "wall of fire" that spread for four blocks and raged for several hours.[4] References1. ^{{cite web | url=https://www.nytimes.com/2002/01/06/world/lima-street-vendors-caught-between-police-and-poverty.html?pagewanted=all&src=pm | title=Lima Street Vendors Caught Between Police and Poverty | work=The New York Times | accessdate=12 October 2013 | author=Gonzales, David}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/1733924.stm|title=Fireworks killed 282 people in Peru|publisher=BBC News|date=31 December 2001|accessdate=29 September 2013}} 3. ^1 {{cite news | url=http://www.economist.com/node/922942 | title=Peru's fire: death foretold | work=The Economist | date=3 January 2002 | accessdate=12 October 2013}} 4. ^1 {{cite web | url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2001/dec/31/2 | title=Over 200 die in Peru fireworks blaze | work=The Guardian | date=30 December 2001 | accessdate=12 October 2013 | author=Ryan, Missy}} 5. ^{{cite book | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=4Yjxn1StKKoC&pg=PA153&lpg=PA153 | title=Management of Dead Bodies in Disaster Situations | publisher=DIANE Publishing | author=Stonaker, Mary Elizabeth | year=2008 | pages=153 | isbn=9781437900637}} 4 : 2001 fires|2001 in Peru|Filmed accidental deaths|December 2001 events |
