A 73-year-old woman and her 41-year-old son, from the burned-down home, have been transferred to the Hospital 12 de Octubre, while a neighbor who was going down the fire escapes from the sixth floor has been sent to the Clinical Hospital, reports EP.
To the fire, caused on the ground floor of a nine-story building, 13 firefighters have attended for rescue, salvage and extinction tasks. Samur has been in charge of caring for the residents affected by the smoke.
"There has been a great spread of smoke to the upper floors. (...) The architectural complexity that we have encountered was given by the stairwell. The stairwell had two sections that led to the mezzanine, joined on the floors and They in turn led to two landings, which led to two houses. With which, we did not have a standard reference of what each of the floors was like, "the head of the Madrid Fire Department, David Ramos, told Emergencias Madrid.
