A fire broke out in the early hours of Friday on Juan Negrín Street, number 54, in Arrecife, prompting the Lanzarote Consortium for Security and Emergencies to respond following an alert from Cecoes. The incident affected four containers and caused material damage to an adjacent commercial establishment.
According to the official report, upon arrival of the emergency teams, it was confirmed that the fire had spread rapidly, reaching three bins for organic waste and one designated for cardboard.
The high temperatures and generated radiation resulted in the shattering of the windows of the neighbouring establishment, necessitating ventilation efforts to eliminate the accumulated gases inside.
The firefighters proceeded to extinguish the flames using misted water, successfully controlling the fire and preventing further damage. After suppressing the blaze, they removed the hazardous glass remnants, cleaned the roadway, and cordoned off the affected area to ensure the safety of pedestrians.
The fire caused significant material damage to the containers and the establishment, although no injuries were reported. Local Police and National Police also participated in the operation, assisting with safety and control measures in the area.
