Tres autos quemados tras incendio en barrio vecinal

An incident occurred in the Estación neighborhood of Alcalá de Henares, where a fire originating in a parked car resulted in three vehicles being completely burned. The event caused a visible column of smoke throughout the city center, alarming residents who promptly alerted emergency services.

«It was around ten o’clock, more or less, when I heard the explosion. I couldn’t open the window because the fire was going up towards the tree. It burned a lot of things for my neighbor, shattered the glass,» stated a resident.

The flames reached several meters in height, and although two of the affected cars were quickly removed by their owners, the third, an abandoned vehicle, was the focal point of the problem.

According to several residents, this car had been parked in the area for over a month and was used by homeless individuals. «A young guy came from time to time, but recently a couple would get in there, smoke joints, and even sleep inside,» explained another neighbor.

«They used it for everything: they made love, smoked things they shouldn’t, did their business there, in the trunk they had toilet papers, towels full of feces, bath towels,» she added.

It is pointed out that a couple lives in the car, and we were able to speak with the woman, who accused another person of causing the fire. «It was the Bulgarian, the queen. She set it on fire. I came to the procession and had a candle with a cap. She removed the cap, lit the candle and set it on fire at the back. She left and left me behind,» she claimed.

A Fire Department unit quickly arrived at the scene and extinguished the fire that started in the vehicles, along with several Local and National Police officers who carried out safety and investigative tasks.
