The incident occurred around 07:30 AM, when the Bombers de la Generalitat received an alert about a fire in a residence. Three units were quickly dispatched to the scene, where they confirmed that the fire had originated in an armchair and had already been extinguished.

The victim, who had mobility issues, alerted the Sistema d'Emergències Mèdiques (SEM) through the telecare service. Due to the severity of the burns, which affected almost half of his body, the SEM mobilized a medical helicopter and two ambulances for his transfer to the reference hospital.
