A pyrotechnic rocket that entered through a window has apparently been the cause of a fire in some floors of a building in Rentería (Gipuzkoa), which has forced the residents to evacuate, as reported to Europa Press by the Ertzaintza.

The event occurred five minutes after midnight, when, with the launch of rockets for the arrival of the new year 2024, a pyrotechnic rocket would have entered one of the floors of this 13-story building located in the Sorgintzulo neighborhood of the Gipuzkoa town.

The fire spread to the upper floors and the property has been evacuated. The neighbors were able to return to their homes around 2:15 a.m., without any injuries.
