Building Fire in A Coruña: Six Injured, Major Damage

A Coruña Building Fire: Six Injured, Structure Compromised A fire engulfed an occupied building on Barrera Street in the heart of A Coruña, Spain, early Tuesday morning, resulting in six injuries and significant structural damage. The incident prompted the evacuation of neighboring buildings. The fire, which began around 2:45 a.m., rapidly consumed the building. Firefighters battled the blaze for several hours, finally bringing it under control around 7:00 a.m. The cause of the fire is currently under investigation. "We had to climb down the scaffolding," said one resident of a nearby building who was evacuated. The intense heat and flames forced residents to flee their homes quickly. The six individuals who sustained injuries were treated at the scene for minor burns and smoke inhalation. The building itself suffered extensive damage and was deemed structurally unsound, requiring demolition. Authorities are working to relocate the displaced residents. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of fire safety and the potential dangers of occupied buildings.
