One person was slightly injured this Thursday morning in a fire in the kitchen of an apartment on Prim street in Reus.

The incident occurred at 06:17 AM, when five units from the Bombers de la Generalitat (Generalitat Firefighters) were dispatched to the scene. Residents of the building, which has a ground floor and 11 stories, had already self-evacuated to the exterior before the arrival of the crews.
The firefighters quickly extinguished the flames and subsequently inspected and ventilated all floors of the building to ensure residents' safety.

"The Medical Emergency System (SEM) also mobilized an ambulance, which attended to the affected person and transferred them in a less serious condition to the Sant Joan de Reus Hospital."
