Overview

  • The fire broke out at 3:09 PM on May 6 at the Layna facility in the El Alteró industrial park in Silla, producing a towering black smoke plume visible for kilometers.
  • Local police cordoned off the area, and the Provincial Fire Consortium deployed six firefighting crews along with command officers to combat the blaze.
  • Due to the fire's proximity to railway tracks, ADIF suspended Cercanías lines C1 and C2, with Renfe warning of delays between Silla and Catarroja.
  • The fire is concentrated in one of the facility's warehouses, with firefighters leveraging favorable wind conditions to prevent the flames from spreading to adjacent structures.
