Overview
- The fire began around 7:26 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 7, and prompted a major CGBVP deployment with at least 21 units sent to Avenida Los Jardines in Comas.
- Brigadier mayor Javier Carrasco said crews confined the blaze to the single structure and that no one was injured or treated for smoke inhalation.
- The upper floors (4–6) were being used as a warehouse for bales of fabric while the lower three floors housed residents, a layout that raises known fire‑risk concerns.
- The origin of the fire and whether the owners held permits to store combustible textiles on the upper floors remain unknown and will be examined as authorities assess material damage.
- Health teams kept two SAMU ambulances on standby and local clinics on alert, and inspectors and firefighters are expected to pursue regulatory checks that could affect residents and the building owners.
