Overview
- A recycling plant in Torrejón de Velasco reported a major fire in two piles of processed scrap, drawing 12 fire crews who brought it under control and kept it confined.
- Firefighters are still removing and cooling about 1,500 cubic meters of scrap to prevent reignition, and emergency medics stayed on site in a preventive role.
- Concrete block partitions at the facility and quick hose lines stopped the flames from spreading into a third sector, which limited damage to the plant.
- Hours earlier, a truck workshop fire in San Fernando de Henares torched three vehicles but was kept to about 250 square meters of a 1,500‑square‑meter building after 10 units responded.
- Regional emergency services coordinated both operations and reported no injuries, and officials have not disclosed the causes of either blaze in this short cluster of industrial fires.
