Emergency services responded swiftly to extinguish the flames that originated in a room of the center, located on Rosa Martínez Vera street. The incident, which occurred shortly before 11:00 PM, mobilized the Consortium Firefighters, 061 Health Emergency Center, Civil Guard, and Local Police.
The fire, located in a first-floor lounge, was put out by firefighters from Guadix, supported by the Iznalloz station. The second floor of the building was affected by smoke, requiring ventilation efforts to ensure the building's habitability.
Of the 28 residents evacuated, five men aged between 17 and 48 received on-site medical assistance from the medical teams of Guadix and Purullena. Fortunately, none of them were in a condition that required transfer to a hospital and were relocated to other areas of the residential complex.
