A fire broke out early this Thursday morning in the Guinardó neighborhood of Barcelona, specifically on Rambla de la Muntanya. The blaze completely incinerated three containers and caused damage to the facade of the adjacent building, including the metal shutter of the ground floor premises.
This incident has caused concern among residents, who fear the possible return of the arsonist who was active in the area during 2025. That year saw a wave of similar fires involving containers and vehicles in various neighborhoods of the city.
The Guardia Urbana and Mossos d'Esquadra arrested the alleged arsonist in December 2025, a 63-year-old man caught in the act while setting fire to two containers on Passeig de Valldaura. The arrest ended a period of fear for residents.
Residents who have contacted local media are expressing their unease about this new fire, wondering if it could indicate that the arsonist has started acting again.
