The calle Larga fire
The most serious incident was a fire in a home at number 3A on calle Virgen de los Milagros, known as calle Larga, in the early hours of Friday to Saturday. The building was completely burned out and there were no fatalities. The five people who were inside were evacuated and three of them had to be taken to hospital for smoke inhalation, none of them seriously. Firefighters from the Consorcio de Bomberos, the Policía Nacional and health services took part in the incident, alongside the Local Police.
Fewer cars and more control
On road safety, officers issued 47 reports for breaches of the General Traffic Regulations, two of them related to alcohol. The Dirección General de Tráfico (DGT) processed another six reports in the same period. In addition, two reports were filed for breaches of the Citizen Coexistence Ordinance.
The report also includes two traffic accidents attended, one offence against road safety, 12 vehicles removed by tow truck and another three immobilised by officers.
The Seat 600s, at the Plaza de Toros
Among the weekend's events, the gathering of 118 Seat 600 vehicles at the Plaza de Toros stood out, on the occasion of the tenth TraveSeat route, whose participants also drove through various streets of the city. The City Council notes that this type of event requires municipal services to be adapted to the movement of people and vehicles they generate.
