Firefighters have had to assist in thirty incidents due to the rainstorm that the island has been suffering since dawn this Wednesday. Several homes in Arrecife, in San Bartolomé and in the municipality of Teguise have been flooded again. Specifically, in the capital of the island they have acted in the streets Tenderete, Seguidilla, Rafael González Negrín, El Antonio (School of Languages), Triana, Temisas, Menéndez y Pelayo, Isabel la Católica, Jacinto Borges, César Manrique and Córdoba, while in the municipality of San Bartolomé it has been registered in the town of Playa Honda and, in the municipality of Teguise, in Las Acacias street in Costa Teguise.

In addition, the Consortium's troops have also acted on several roads, such as the LZ-20 at the height of the Molina Orosa Hospital tunnel and, in the town of Puerto del Carmen, at the intersection of Avenida Las Playas with Anzuelo street and on Pedro Barba street.

The heavy rains that have fallen in Arrecife have also been felt in the works of the future La Destila school, on Manolo Millares street. The site has been completely flooded and several workers from the company in charge of the works have had to remove the metal fences that surround it.

 

Two roads closed


The Lanzarote Emergency and Security Consortium has also reported the closure of two roads throughout the island, specifically, the Famara road that runs parallel to the beach and then deviates towards the bungalows and the road that connects Nazaret with the Agroindustrial Complex.
