Overview

  • A fire in the Bauhaus parking area in Alfafar spread to five vehicles, leading to a precautionary evacuation of the retail store.
  • Strong winds contributed to the spread of the Alfafar fire, which was controlled by firefighters by 15:30 on April 19, 2025.
  • Authorities initially suspected a hybrid car battery as the cause of the Alfafar fire but later ruled out this possibility, with investigations continuing.
  • On the same day, a car carrying four passengers caught fire on the AP-9 motorway near Mesía, but all occupants escaped unharmed.
  • Both incidents resulted in total vehicle losses, with one Bauhaus employee losing a replacement car after previously losing two vehicles in a flood.
