Civil Protection confirms that waiters did not report the incident to 911.
The Cancun Civil Protection Directorate will inspect the restaurant barĀ āLas de GuanatosāĀ in theĀ Cancun bullringĀ after the accident in which aĀ touristĀ sufferedĀ second-degreeĀ burnsĀ on her face from a flaming drink.
According to the authority, their action protocols will be verified, especially since they serve drinks of this style, since there is no report of the 911
āWe have to verify if it is true that they did not provide aid because they have an action protocol for these cases and they should have acted and called 911ā.
If it is found that the due protocol was not followed, the establishment will be sanctioned with a fine that can reach up to 300 UMA (26 thousand 886 pesos) and could also be closed.
āIt depends on how the staff reacted.Ā If it was in accordance with their protocol, they will be fined because at the end of the day itĀ is an accident and there will be a fine, but if they did not act as they have to act with the protocol, they have toĀ analyze whether the closure is appropriateĀ ā.
The authorities assured thatĀ no regulation prohibits the elaboration ofĀ flambeedĀ drinksĀ or foods, so the restaurant bar continues to operate.
