Early Monday afternoon, alarms rang out at the Les Talaies Vocational Center in La Vila Joiosa as a brush fire erupted in nearby plots where vegetation runs thick. The incident, reported by authorities at the Benidorm Provincial Consortium Fire Station, prompted a rapid emergency response. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported as firefighters and local agencies moved quickly to contain the flames and ensure public safety.
In response to the approaching threat, central administration enacted a precautionary evacuation of the vocational center to minimize risk to students, staff, and nearby residents. Fire crews from the Provincial Firefighters Consortium of Marina Baixa were dispatched from Benidorm, arriving with a headquarters vehicle supported by a heavy rural fire truck to coordinate suppression efforts.
Upon arrival, the firefighting operation required full deployment of resources to halt the spread of the flames, which moved quickly through the surrounding vegetation. The incident saw close collaboration between firefighters and the Vila Joiosa Local Police, with the Drone Air Unit providing aerial assessment and situational awareness, while members of the Civil Guard supported crowd control and safety operations.
