One person has died and seven have been taken to the hospital due to smoke inhalation as a result of a fire declared at 8:55 PM this Friday in a room of the Padre Menni residence, located on Paseo de los Enamorados in Pamplona, which has forced the relocation of about fifty patients.
The fire, the Government of Navarra has reported, has been extinguished by the firefighters, but as a precaution and due to the impossibility of residents spending the night in the center, around 50 patients have been relocated.
The National Police have taken charge of the proceedings and the Pamplona Municipal Police have collaborated in the operation.
Firefighting units from the Trinitarios and Cordovilla stations, as well as a large medical device composed of two advanced life support (ALS) ambulances, six basic life support (BLS) ambulances, and a medical team, have been dispatched to the scene.
