Firefighters from the Security and Emergency Consortium had to extinguish a fire in an abandoned and walled-up house located on Canalejas Street in Arrecife this Wednesday.

After being alerted around 2:00 p.m., the firefighters went to the scene, finding a room full of garbage that was completely on fire in the house. The fire also affected the wooden ceilings of the building, which, although they have not fallen, have been damaged "quite a bit", according to reports from the Security and Emergency Consortium.
