The fire started shortly after 8:30 PM on Lola Flores street, number 5. The joint intervention of 13 units from the Madrid Fire Department and six from the Community of Madrid was necessary because the area is a Joint Action Zone (ZAC).
According to information from Emergencias Madrid, the fire had multiple ignition points and the flames spread up the facade. The crews managed to contain its advance and extinguish the flames.
During the extinguishing efforts, drones from the Municipal Police were used to obtain an aerial view of the affected area.

The causes of the fire are currently unknown.
