Overview
- An overnight garage fire in Colmenar Viejo prompted the evacuation of about 150 residents from a complex serving 112 flats.
- Ten regional fire crews confined the blaze to two cars on level minus two, and six people received on‑site care for mild smoke inhalation or a glucose issue before being discharged.
- A separate fire broke out around 7:15 a.m. at a scrapyard in San Martín de la Vega at the junction of Cobre and Plomo, burning several vehicles and damaging at least one industrial unit.
- Guardia Civil and local police evacuated nearby naves and instructed workers to shelter as a tall, vertical smoke column rose without affecting populated areas.
- By late morning the scrapyard fire was under control with some crews remaining on preventive standby, no injuries were reported, and authorities have not specified a cause.
