Sunday August 1, 2004. It was friendship day, many people went out to the park, supermarket or shopping, one of the options was the Ycua Bolaños chain, which had many branches and also for the time was very popular but had a rule that condemned many people that day, if there was a power outage, accident or something out of the ordinary, the security personnel had the obligation to close the doors and lock up the people who did not pay and let out those who did pay.
That was the rule imposed by Juan Pio Paiva, the owner of the supermarket chain.

7:30 AM
the doors of the supermarket are opened to the public and the ovens are turned on to cook and make the roast, between the ceiling and the floor there is a ceiling that serves to cover the wiring, the supports of the structure and the air conditioners, to the dress is very nice but on the other side is full of asilante that insulates the heat, but is flammable in high temperatures.
In the part of the kitchen, in one of the chimneys, this mista was badly placed because the pipe where the smoke passes is cut by a beam making a s accumulating ollin for years only a spark is needed for the fire is created.

8:00 AM
the supermarket is full of people looking to buy things for friendship day, the food court is preparing lunch and breakfast for the customers. near the food court there is a playground for children. everything seems to be going normal for now.

9:30 AM
due to the high temperatures, a fire starts in the chimney that no one notices because of the dark sky, it spreads rapidly and is fed by the flammable insulation.

10:00 AM
still no one notices the voracious fire that is consuming the insulation, the flames reach the wires, the power goes out. The doors are locked and only people who paid are allowed to leave, thousands are locked in.

10:30 AM
people accumulate at the exits and others just keep walking through the supermarket without knowing that the sky is about to collapse.

11:00 AM
the ceiling collapses over the open checkouts and where people were paying for their stuff, in the food court it also collapses, the ovens due to the intense heat explode killing most of the cooks. People pile up against the locked doors trying to get out but they can't, the fire and smoke spreads through the supermarket, panic takes over the people.

11:30 AM
the cars in the parking lot due to the high temperatures explode feeding the flames and increasing the heat. the firemen arrive and start to put the hoses through the roof because the exits are locked. in the food court there is a big window that was broken for people to get out. another big hole was made near the ramp that went to the parking lot that was full of bodies.

11:45 AM
the concrete walls of the parking lot begin to melt due to the heat, according to some firefighters it was between 600 degrees centigrade and 700 degrees centigrade. upstairs it is not very encouraging since many people lost their lives due to the smoke and also the fire.

12:00 AM
the fire brigade manages to get out all the people alive that were inside. The hospitals are crowded with injured people.

4:00 PM
they begin to remove the bodies and the place is in ruins, the locks of the doors were melted. there are several missing, many bodies due to the inhalation of toxic gases, the wounded are still being treated.

8:00 p.m.
it was unofficially said that 300 people perished, but as the hours passed, 150 people disappeared. it is thought that the people who disappeared became senile due to the oven that the building had been transformed into.

Days after the fire, the bodies were counted and in total more than 500 people died, and 200 disappeared among men, women and children.
