On Tuesday, the firefighters of the Fire Extinction and Civil Protection Service of the Ayuntamiento of Cartagena intervened in two vehicle fires, as reported by municipal sources. The first fire occurred at one o’clock in the morning, involving a utility vehicle parked on the street in Pozo Estrecho. The flames spread to the door and shutters of a nearby residence, leading firefighters to perform ventilation work in the ground floor unit, which had filled with smoke. Fortunately, no one was injured during this incident.

Later that day, at around ten o’clock in the morning, emergency services extinguished a fire in an electric scooter in the Virgen de la Carida area. The blaze had ignited underneath the scooter, where the batteries are located. Firefighters swiftly handled the situation using a hose designed for emergency response.

These incidents highlight the importance of prompt action by emergency services in preventing the escalation of fire hazards to nearby properties. The quick response of the firefighters prevented further damage and ensured the safety of the local community.

Authorities continue to investigate the causes of these fires. Residents are reminded to take precautionary measures to avoid fire incidents, especially in relation to vehicles and electrical devices.
