FIRE BRIGADE Have To Evacuate Several People From A House Fire In Almería The 112 Andalucía Emergency service, attached to the Council of the Presidency, Public Administration and Interior of the Board, today, Saturday 17, deployed the Public Health Emergencies Company ambulance (EPES 061), the Fire Brigade, the National and Local Police forces, to an incident in the Almería capital city. 112 received a call at around 1pm, reporting a fire in a second-floor apartment, on Avenida de Los Angeles, in the capital, and when the emergency services arrived at the scene, they discovered that several mattresses had been set alight inside the apartment, and in other rooms as well. According to the police statement, the property was under construction, and the owner had left there in the morning, only to return after midday and find the apartment on fire, with the Fire Brigade reporting finding four or five people inside the burning home, who they had to evacuate, though nobody was injured, as reported by juntadeandalucia.es.
