A fire that broke out yesterday at noon on the fifth floor of Roca Labrador street in Lleida mobilized seven Firefighter units and temporarily forced the evacuation of fifteen people.

The blaze, which started at 12:18 PM, significantly affected a portion of the property, though no injuries were reported. The swift response from emergency services allowed the flames to be controlled and extinguished before 2:00 PM.
The Guàrdia Urbana of Lleida was responsible for coordinating the preventive evacuation of the building's residents. Fortunately, most neighbors were able to return to their homes once the extinguishing and ventilation tasks were completed.
The only exception was the resident of the directly affected apartment, who will temporarily stay with a family member. This arrangement will continue until the safety and habitability of the damaged apartment can be ensured.
