One Dead and Several Injured in Separate Home Fires Across Spain

Investigations focus on household hazards—gas, heating equipment, candles.

Overview

  • A 23-year-old man died after two sixth-floor flats burned on Comtes d'Urgell in Lleida, with all other residents evacuated as Mossos open an inquiry and municipal engineers assess the building.
  • In El Casar (Guadalajara), a heating exchanger exploded and triggered a house fire that injured three people, including one patient transferred to Hospital La Paz in a mobile ICU and two treated for smoke inhalation.
  • A gas deflagration in an attic in Atarfe (Granada) left four injured, including a firefighter, forced about 20 residents from six homes, and prompted the town to offer hotel rooms pending structural checks.
  • In Bueu (Pontevedra), an early-morning blaze led to evacuations and medical attention for a family and two Guardia Civil officers for smoke inhalation, with a candle cited as the initial hypothesis and one flat left severely damaged.
  • In Miranda de Ebro (Burgos), an overnight fire gutted a largely uninhabited house, collapsed the roof, and left the dwelling uninhabitable, with no injuries reported.
