A fire in a housing block forces the evacuation of two buildings in Chamberí
The fire originated around midnight on the top floor of one of the buildings and municipal technicians now have to assess the state of the structure to see if the 15 neighbors who have slept outside can return home.
The neighbors of two blocks of housing in the Madrid district of Chamberí were evicted in the early hours of Monday due to a fire that originated on the top floor of one of the seven-story buildings, around midnight, according to a spokesperson for Emergencies. The fire affected numbers 52 and 54 on García Paredes street and around 15 residents and a dog from the first entrance were rehoused by Samur Social and spent the night outside their homes.
Those from the second entrance, which was evacuated due to the proximity of the flames, have already returned to their homes. There are no injured or intoxicated people in either of the two.
