On the afternoon of Tuesday, July 7, 2026, emergency crews rushed to the Periférico Ecológico near Plaza Explanada in San Pedro Cholula after a water truck caught fire while driving along the road.

The cause of the fire remains unknown, and fortunately, no injuries have been reported so far. The flames and thick smoke were visible from several points in the area, prompting a swift response from firefighters and civil protection teams working to control the blaze and prevent further hazards.

Traffic in the area has been affected due to the incident. Authorities are advising drivers to exercise caution, reduce speed, and, if possible, take alternate routes until the emergency response and vehicle removal are completed.

This event highlights the importance of efficient emergency services in urban areas, especially as Puebla continues to develop infrastructure projects like the cablebús system, which aim to improve mobility and safety for residents and visitors alike.
