The call was reportedly received shortly before 4.30 a.m. and six fire brigades from Madrid City Council were sent to La Reina de África street to extinguish the flames from inside the house.
The fire brigade prevented the fire from spreading to the rest of the house, which was already breaking through the façade of the house on Romeo y Julieta street.
The Scientific Police and the National Police are investigating the cause of the fire.
The news comes just a day after a woman was found dead after being burnt alive in a flat fire in Milan, Italy, as reported on Monday, August 8.
