MEXICO CITY: Flames engulfed a day care center in the northern Mexican city of Hermosillo on Friday, killing at least 29children and sending dozens more the hospital, an official said.
The fire apparently started at a car and tire depot Friday afternoon and spread to the day care center, said JoseLarrinaga, a spokesman for Sonora state investigators.
He said the fire was controlled within two hours and that most children had died of asphyxiation.
``We're still investigating what caused the fire and where exactly it started,'' Larrinaga said.
