Murcia Firefighters Silence School PA After 'Happy Birthday' Blared All Night

The looped song from a Javalí Viejo school's speakers kept residents awake until crews cut the system at about 4:30 a.m.

Overview

  • The music began around 11 p.m. and played continuously for more than five hours through the school's outdoor speakers.
  • Bomberos de Murcia responded to repeated complaints from neighbors and disconnected the public‑address system to stop the noise.
  • Firefighters entered the campus via the patio to reach the source and shut down the device, according to local reports.
  • Officials have not confirmed the cause of the activation, with reports suggesting a possible technical error or prank.
  • The fire service later posted a lighthearted message and video about the intervention, and no injuries or sanctions were reported.
