Catral Local Police also asked residents living nearby not to approach the area, and “make it difficult for firefighters and necessary equipment to access the scene to carry out extinguishing work”.
It’s not yet known what caused the blaze, which broke out just before 4am, but the structure of the building has suffered extensive damage, and parts of the roof have collapsed.
