Major Fire Destroys MontesaHonda Warehouse in Santa Perpètua

Firefighting has been scaled back to monitoring while investigators probe a possible ignition near rooftop solar panels.

Overview

  • A large blaze began in a MontesaHonda logistics warehouse in Santa Perpètua de Mogoda that started Friday and quickly consumed the interior and roof.
  • Regional firefighters mounted a heavy response that at times involved about 30 dotaciones and fought the fire from the exterior because the structure was unsafe to enter.
  • Authorities evacuated roughly 150 workers and reported no injuries as the 20,000‑square‑metre warehouse was calcinated and the roof collapsed.
  • As of the morning after the fire operations have been reduced to four firefighting units conducting surveillance and overhaul while a formal investigation continues.
  • Early signs point to the roof area near photovoltaic panels as the ignition site, and the loss of the warehouse has interrupted local logistics, caused long traffic slowdowns on the AP‑7, and left employees barred from the site pending damage assessments.
