I had no idea Mexico had one of these market I knew they sold fireworks but usually these markets are in China.

Yeah typically fireworks manufactured in Mexico are prohibited from being sold in the U.S. due to how dangerous they can be since the firework industry is barely regulated in Mexico which must change as this same facility has had major fires at least three times before and yet we don't see a push for reasonable regulations though I suppose enforcement of said regulations would be quite difficult since Mexico has a big problem with corruption unfortunately.

Because someone always ask yes I am a licensed pyrotechnician.

Good luck in Mexico with regulation always wanted to go to one of these crazy markets must be like a bomb waiting to go off just see it once. One firework goes off the entire place went up. Wonder if there were any American's there.

I'm honestly amazed this doesn't happen much, much more often down there in Mexico.
