A palm tree fire that occurred in the early hours of this Thursday in Arrecife forced the occupants of an adjacent house to evacuate.
The fire took place at approximately 3:37 a.m. on Juan Negrín street, on the terrace of an abandoned house. After being alerted by 112, the firefighters went to the scene, where the Local Police were already present. Once there, they verified that the fire affected a palm tree that was next to a significant amount of dry leaves and that the fire was beginning to spread inside the building.
The Consortium personnel verified that there was no one inside the house and proceeded to extinguish the fire. In addition, they evacuated the occupants of an adjacent house as a precaution, who were able to re-enter the house once the fire was extinguished.
