A group of five residents received assistance last night after a fire incident unfolded in a residence located in Agost, affecting a basement area of a building. The Emergency Information and Coordination Center (CICU) coordinated the response alongside the Civil Guard, ensuring a rapid mobilization of resources to manage the blaze and its aftermath.
The alarm sounded just after 11 p.m., triggering a swift deployment of emergency teams. Initial information from responders indicates that the fire originated in a dwelling on La Font de Agost street, where a fryer welded equipment in the basement appears to have contributed to the ignition, intensifying the hazard inside the home.
Five occupants of the residence received on-site evaluation and care in the building’s restrooms, with two SAMU ambulance units and a technician from Basic Life Support (SVB) arriving urgently to assist. The CICU confirmed that medical teams attended to all five individuals affected by smoke exposure, providing initial stabilization and monitoring to prevent further complications.
Among the affected, four men aged between 35 and 54 and a 50-year-old woman required further clinical assessment. Several people were able to be discharged or released after initial treatment, while others were transferred for additional care as a precautionary measure. In the immediate aftermath, authorities continued to manage the scene and coordinate patient transport as needed.
As the situation evolved, the most serious case involved a 54-year-old man who was admitted to the intensive care unit of the General Hospital this Monday. The prognosis remains guarded as hospital teams monitor his condition and respond to evolving clinical needs. The broader incident involved multiple adults from the same household, with medical staff and emergency responders working together to assess physical health, ensure safety, and minimize risk to neighboring residents. The individuals affected included men in their mid-30s to mid-50s and a woman around 50 years of age, highlighting the varied impact of smoke inhalation and fire exposure across the group.
