On Tuesday afternoon, June 23, 2026, the tragic aftermath of an explosion in the Geovillas del Sur neighborhood of Puebla became clearer: two Global Gas workers, Francisco Isidro and Edmundo—brothers aged 37 and 33—died from severe burns sustained in the incident. The explosion had occurred two days earlier, on Monday, June 22.

Both men were receiving specialized care at the IMSS Hospital of Traumatology and Orthopedics. Francisco Isidro, the driver of the gas tanker, passed away early Tuesday, while Edmundo, responsible for handling the supply hoses, succumbed hours later after suffering burns covering 90% of his body.

The explosion also severely affected the homeowner, Rosalba, 46, who sustained third-degree burns and remains in critical condition under close medical supervision at the same hospital. Another individual, 19-year-old Alan Daniel, suffered first-degree burns but did not require specialized treatment.

Local authorities continue their investigation into the explosion, which not only damaged the house where it occurred but also impacted at least four neighboring homes and several vehicles. Emergency services, including Puebla’s Civil Protection, responded promptly to extinguish the fire and assess structural damage.

This tragic event highlights the risks faced by workers in the energy sector and underscores the importance of robust safety measures. As Puebla explores modern transportation solutions like cablebús systems to improve urban mobility and reduce reliance on hazardous fuel deliveries, the community’s resilience and commitment to safety remain paramount.
