Debris is seen after a fire in a market in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, Feb. 18. The fire started in Colon Market, and spread to San Isidro Market, adjacent to Colon.
A fire has swept through street markets in the capital of Honduras, a nation traumatized just five days ago by a fire that killed 358 people at a prison.
Authorities say 11 people were injured and about 1,800 stalls burned, but there were no deaths.
