“Nineteen people were killed and at least 31 were injured Thursday, [July 5, 2018] when two explosions ripped through fireworks workshops in a town just north of Mexico City.”

“The San Pablito market is in Tultepec, a city about 40 kilometers (25 miles) north of Mexico City that bills itself as the country's fireworks capital.”

Here is a 1-minute video showing the initial explosion, and it tells of two other explosions in earlier years.

There is another video segment lower down on the page as well.
“Many residents in the town make a living by fabricating and selling homemade fireworks, and explosions are a regular occurrence.
But authorities have been unable to enforce safety regulations and registration requirements.”

“Safety measures at fireworks workshops and markets have been a matter of constant debate in Mexico. While regulations exist on the books, many continue making powerful firecrackers and bottle rockets and sell them to the public.”
http://abc7news.com/fireworks-explosion-kills-19-injures-31-near-mexico-city/3711376/
“Fireworks accidents are not uncommon in Mexico, especially during the Christmas season, when families purchase hundreds of fireworks for the holidays. Fireworks are a favored tradition among Mexicans, and markets are filled with small fireworks for children.
The explosion at the San Pablito market was the third major blast there in the last 11 years. In 2005 and again in 2006, major explosions took place. While no one was killed in those two episodes, vendor stalls and surrounding areas were damaged.
Despite that history, the market was certified by the state’s Institute of Pyrotechnics, which just last month described it as ‘the safest in all of Latin America.’ ”
