A fire has occurred in an abandoned house this morning on Triana Street in Arrecife. The Security and Emergency Consortium has reported that it occurred around six in the morning.

Alerted by the CECOES, firefighters went to the scene to extinguish the fire. Upon arriving there, they found that it was a fire in the warehouse in apparent abandonment.

Once on the site, they located the fire in the wooden sheets stacked at the access door. Among those sheets, they found three pressure bottles: chlorine, carbon dioxide and argon.

Then they began to extinguish the fire and cool the bottle, while checking that there was no one in the enclosure, reports the CECOES.

Agents of the Local and National Police also came to the area, according to the Emergency Consortium.
