Sayulita Scenes - Fire!

Even in a town full of concrete structures during our "rainy" season we can still get fires.  The original custom golf cart workshop in town went up in flames yesterday.  Not much detail just yet as to how it all started but the fire as able to be contained and spare surrounding homes for the most part.  The workshop was located right downtown just on the cobblestone side of the bridge.  The pueblo does not have "fire hydrants" or even provide pressure to the water system during some times of the day which makes fighting such a thing even more difficult.


Sayulita does actually have it's own fire truck but once it's onboard supply is exhausted water needs to come from some other supply source like a tanker truck in the photo below.  Getting close to the fire in some cases is challenging as well with the narrow or steep streets in town.  It sounds like the business is a complete loss.  Sad for the owner, Gaston, who I met back during our first visit here when he was working on his first carts in front of his house.
