A high-rise apartment building was largely destroyed in a major fire in the Spanish coastal metropolis of Valencia on Thursday. According to emergency services, the fire broke out in an apartment on the fourth floor and spread quickly.
According to media reports, people may be trapped in the building. The authorities had ordered the construction of a field hospital as a precaution, the newspaper “La Vanguardia” reported.
The building looked like a huge torch
Social media showed how the facade of the relatively new house was ablaze from the ground floor to the flat roof. The building looked like a huge torch. Burning parts of the facade, made of apparently highly flammable material, fell into the depths and remained burning there.
The strong wind further fanned the fire
According to the rescue service, 16 fire engines were deployed to fight the fire. There was a huge cloud of black smoke hanging over the building. The strong wind fanned the fire even further.
