A 16-year-old minor died this morning due to a fire that broke out in a house located on Portu street in the Vizcaya municipality of Barakaldo. In addition, six other people, two of them also minors, have had to be transferred to hospitals.
As reported by the Basque Department of Security, the event originated around 2:47 a.m. this Sunday in a four-story wooden building when, for reasons that are being investigated, a fire broke out, apparently in the area of ??the stairs.
Police, fire brigade and health personnel have moved to the place, transporting six people, two of them minors, to hospitals. Subsequently, the firefighters have located the burned body of a 16-year-old minor.
Despite the fact that the flames have already been extinguished, the firefighters continue on the scene due to the risk that the building, whose structure is made of wood, could collapse.
