Firefighters battle huge blaze engulfing apartment block in Spain | BBC News


A high-rise apartment block in the Spanish city of Valencia has been engulfed by fire.

It broke out in a 14-storey block in the Campanar neighbourhood and spread to an adjoining building.

Firefighters rescued people from balconies as the flames spread. There were fears that others could be trapped inside.

At least 13 people, including six firefighters, were injured.

It’s reported that the fire spread rapidly because it was covered in highly-flammable polyurethane cladding.
