Overview
- A building at Calle de l'Església nº26 in Arenys de Mar suffered an interior collapse that left only its façade standing on Sunday, June 21, and no one was inside or hurt.
- Firefighters from the Bombers de la Generalitat deployed eleven units, including the Grupo de Estructuras and drones, to secure the scene and inspect neighboring properties for structural damage.
- About twenty buildings on the street were evacuated after cracks appeared in adjacent walls and teams judged the façade could fall unpredictably.
- The town hall is arranging temporary housing and reported that 18 residents will likely be unable to return home until next Friday while removal and safety works progress.
- Initial on-scene hypotheses point to demolition work on the contiguous building as a possible cause, a finding that will guide a technical investigation and could prompt stricter controls on close-proximity demolition in historic streets.
