The Generalitat Firefighters have carried out a preventive evacuation of residents in Esparreguera (Baix Llobregat) following the partial collapse of a house roof, an incident that, fortunately, caused no injuries.

The incident occurred on April 3, 2026, when emergency services received the alert at 2:47 PM. Immediately, five units of the Firefighters were dispatched to the scene to assess the situation and ensure public safety.
Although no one required medical attention, the decision to evacuate adjacent houses was made as a precautionary measure. This preventive action is standard in situations where a building's structure might compromise the safety of neighboring constructions.

"We are working on the partial collapse of a house in Esparreguera (alert 2:47 PM). Part of a roof has collapsed without causing injuries. We have preventively evacuated nearby houses, and we are on site assessing the impact with technicians from Esparreguera."
