Fatal Home Fires in Spain and Violent Robberies in Argentina Drive Emergency Responses and Arrests

Investigations proceed across both countries, with crews securing buildings, treating the injured, and supporting affected residents.

Overview

  • In Barcelona’s Horta-Guinardó district, an 89-year-old woman died in a flat fire as Mossos d'Esquadra opened an inquiry into the cause.
  • In Arriondas (Parres, Asturias), a 92-year-old man died after SEPA firefighters pulled him from his burning home in cardiorespiratory arrest and SAMU resuscitation efforts failed.
  • Spanish responders also rescued a 57-year-old man with reduced mobility from a smoke-filled home in Burjassot, and a Port d'Alcúdia apartment was left destroyed by fire with the building later sealed for safety checks.
  • In Córdoba city, neighbors restrained a suspect after a woman was thrown from a balcony during a robbery; police seized a replica firearm and doctors report the 44-year-old is stable with multiple trauma.
  • In José C. Paz (Buenos Aires province), a 54-year-old man was shot dead during a motorcycle robbery and suspects aged 18 and 13 were detained, while separate probes in Mar del Plata and Rosario yielded an arrest tied to a home invasion and the caregiver’s detention in a ‘cerrajero’ theft.
