Frankly News – Two people were killed and twelve others injured, in the evening, in a fire inside an Italian restaurant in Madrid, most likely caused by a blowpipe used to light a pizza sandwich, according to the authorities today.
Madrid’s emergency services official, Montessey Marcos, told reporters that two people who had received care from the city’s emergency services had died.
The mayor of the Spanish capital, Jose Luis Martinez Almeida, who visited the site of the accident today, pointed out that the two victims are an employee of the restaurant and a customer.
Twelve people were injured in the fire that broke out in the restaurant located in western Madrid, six of whom were transferred in serious condition to various hospitals in Madrid.
The mayor stated that the incident erupted after the tongues of fire that were used to ignite a pizza spread to elements of the decor, including plastic flowers decorating the ceiling, and to columns at the site.
One of the restaurant’s customers told the Spanish newspaper “El Pais” that “a waiter in the restaurant was putting the finishing touches on a dish using a blowpipe to ignite it, and he was carrying the burning dish in one hand and the blowpipe in the other, and he passed by the plants, and within seconds, everything caught fire.” ».
The fire brigade stated that its members were able to intervene quickly. Because their barracks are only 400 meters away from the scene of the accident, and many people rushed to inform them of the fire.
The Spanish police are investigating the incident. Statement
