Firefighters from the Lanzarote Security and Emergency Consortium have rescued a woman from inside a burning house in Arrecife. The events date back to 3:18 p.m. this Tuesday, on Luis Braile Street in the capital of Lanzarote.
Agents of the National and Local Police, a basic life support ambulance, as well as the island's firefighters, who were alerted by the fire that started on the second floor of a house, went to the house.
Upon arrival, the firefighters were alerted that there was a person inside and two butane gas cylinders. Upon going up to the house, they took the woman out, then entered and located the fire, which originated in a bedroom on the second floor.
