Newborn baby dies as fire in Spain destroys apartments

A family of four with two little kids and an old couple are the first known people who died in a fire that destroyed a building in Spain.

Ten people were killed in a fire at the Tabacalara Municipal Building in Valencia’s Campanar district. The fire was set last night in a way that was similar to the fire at Grenfell Tower in 2017.

Firefighters flying a drone saw four dead bodies. They think there are about 14 more people in the building, but they don’t think anyone is alive.

Some people, including a two-year-old child, a two-month-old baby, and some people from other countries, might be stuck inside the building. It might be hard to find them, the Spanish officials say.

The Spanish media has only been able to identify some of the victims, but their names have not been released yet.

However, it is believed that an old couple died in the fire while hiding in their bathroom with their dog.

Local news has said that the whole family, which includes a young family with four members, died in the fire in their apartment.

The family had a mom and dad, a new baby, and a three-year-old girl who went to Sant Pau nursery school. There is a black veil at the entrance of the school to show that they are mourning.

Two people from Ukraine who ran away to Spain are also living on the same street.

People ran out onto their balconies to get away from the fire at the 14-story apartment building, where more than 450 people live.

The building had a material on the outside that could catch on fire easily, like the material used on Grenfell Tower. This caused the fire to spread quickly and cover the whole building in just ten minutes.

Luis Ibanez, who lives in the area, said on TVE that he looked out of a window and saw the fire quickly cover the whole building. He said it seemed like the building was easily catching fire.

“He said he couldn’t believe what he was seeing. ” ‘The building on the other side was fully on fire from the first to the sixth or seventh floor. ‘

Another person who lives across the street from the building told RNE radio what she saw when the fire started.

She said that the fire started on the balconies and parts of the building fell down. The wind had blown parts of the outside covering off in the past and it had to be fixed.

Firefighters used big machines to save people stuck on their balconies. They helped a dad and his daughter, and a boy who was stuck on the second floor.

A woman named Sara from Portugal and her partner Amar, who is from Belgium, got stuck on their seventh-floor balcony for a long time. Firefighters saved them.
