Scare in Puerto del Carmen due to the fire of a van with diving equipment inside. The fire took place at 01:25 this Monday on Avenida de Las Playas near Los Pocillos in Puerto del Carmen.

Local Police agents and the Emergency Consortium have moved to the scene. Once on the scene, the emergency teams have established a security perimeter to protect passers-by and carry out the extinction in a safer way.

The extinction began with sprayed water and foam, which affected the van that was burned, a palm tree and also the radiation reached a vehicle that was parked near the fire.

Once the fire was extinguished, an inspection was carried out of the twelve compressed air cylinders inside to verify possible damage and prevent additional risks derived from exposure to heat. Finally, they marked the vehicle and the police officers carried out the corresponding report.
