The Barcelona Fire Brigade arrived at mid-morning with a single vehicle to put out a fire that had broken out in a roundabout between Passeig de Gràcia and Gran Via de les Corts Catalanas, which was extinguished in a few minutes.
The flames have started in a bushy area next to the road, according to El Periódico, and the smoke has alarmed the neighbors.
Sources from the City Council point out that the fire could have been caused by imprudence, possibly by a cigarette butt thrown from a vehicle, an end that the Fire Department is investigating.
