Authorities have extinguished the fully developed blaze after finding one fatality; a judicial probe has been opened into its origin.

Overview

  • The alarm sounded at 06:19 local time on Pasaje de la Castellassa and Bombers de la Generalitat arrived with three water trucks, one ladder truck and a command vehicle.
  • Fire crews fought the flames from outside before entering the third-floor flat, where they discovered the body of an elderly woman amid heavy fire, smoke and heat damage.
  • Sistema d’Emergències Mèdiques deployed five units to treat two residents for minor injuries who were released at the scene without hospital transfer.
  • Neighbors were kept inside their homes during the response and the building was later ventilated and inspected to ensure the safety of remaining occupants.
