Granada (EFE).- A six-year-old boy died this morning and his 47-year-old mother was seriously injured in the explosion and subsequent fire in a house in Granada that forced the eviction of 40 residents, already back in their homes, the Local Police and the emergency coordination center have informed EFE.
The events occurred on the third floor of a residential block on Circunvalación Encina street, in the La Chana neighborhood, at around 3:15 a.m., for reasons that are being investigated, although the first indications point to a butane leak and subsequent explosion of a burner burning in the kitchen, which was near the terrace of the damaged property.
The event has caused the death of a six-year-old boy and the evacuation to the Granada Traumatology Hospital of his 47-year-old mother, with a serious prognosis after being injured with burns all over her body.
An elderly person has also been transferred to a hospital for prevention purposes and an agent has been assisted on the spot for burns on one hand.
As reported to EFE by a spokesman for the Fire Department, upon arrival at the damaged home they found the already deceased child and his mother -both apparently of North African origin- with “important” burns, for which the first action was the rescue of both, who were the only people in the house at that time.
Leak in a butane, possible cause of the fire that has killed the child
The first indications point to a gas explosion resulting from a butane leak from a stove as the possible cause, according to the firefighters, who specify that the fire only affected the damaged home, a third party.
“We could not minimize anything, we limited ourselves to finishing extinguishing the fire, rescuing these people and evacuating the smoke”, explained the spokesman.
During the emergency intervention, in which members of the local and national police and firefighters participated, the evacuation of some 40 residents who have already returned to their homes was carried out for prevention purposes.
