Residential Building Fire Claims Five Lives in Spain

(MENAFN) At least five people are confirmed dead and four others have escaped with minor injuries following a devastating blaze that tore through a residential building in northeastern Spain on Monday evening, local authorities have announced.

The fire broke out in a five-story building in Manlleu, a town within Barcelona province, according to a statement released by the Catalan Regional Fire Service. Emergency crews mobilized swiftly, bringing the flames under control in approximately thirty minutes — but not before the destruction proved fatal.

Rescue personnel discovered all five victims on the building's rooftop, where they had apparently been trapped as the fire raged below. The four survivors sustained injuries described as minor by officials.

Catalan law enforcement has formally opened an investigation into the origin of the fire, with local patrol units providing additional support to the ongoing probe. Authorities confirmed that the process of identifying the deceased remains underway.
