In the market around 300 dealers sell rockets, firecrackers and fireworks. According to administrative data, 80 per cent of all fireworks are sold in Mexico. Already in 2005 and 2006 there had been serious explosions on the market. Armando Portugues Fuentes, mayor of Tultepec, said the explosion was very unfortunate. However, many citizens are dependent on the financial revenues of the market. "It is part of what we do in this city, it gives us our identity," Fuentes said.
In Mexico, fireworks are burnt down all year round, for example religious festivals. Especially much is poured on the national holiday in September and around Christmas.
