• Dénia firefighters and Salvamento Marítimo crews battled the flames through the night and assessed fuel leaks to protect the marine environment.
• Intense smoke and toxic gases forced authorities to order occupants of nearby vessels to shelter inside their boats for safety.

• The Guardia Civil has cordoned off the affected pier section and launched a formal probe to determine how the fire started.
