A major fire broke out at a paint depot on Andahuaylas Street in the Jicamarca district of San Juan de Lurigancho, Peru, on September 17, 2026.[^1]

It is the second reported large fire on the same street and the same date. A large fire consumed a thinner storage factory on Andahuaylas Street in Annex 22 of Jicamarca on Thursday, September 17, 2020, six years earlier.[^3] On the afternoon of September 17, 2024, Lima also saw three major fires, in the districts of San Juan de Lurigancho, Puente Piedra and Comas.[^2]

What stands out is the date pattern: September 17 has now produced reported major fires in Lima in three separate years - 2020, 2024 and 2026 - with two of them on Andahuaylas Street, six years apart. The facts do not say what caused either street fire or whether the three are connected.
