ARCHIVED - Torrevieja nursing home evacuated after mattress fire
A fire broke out on the second floor of the nursing home in the Vega Baja, Alicante province
A nursing home in Torrevieja was evacuated after a mattress caught fire and quickly spread to a second bed causing extensive damage on the second floor of the building in Calle Francisco Casanovas on Wednesday evening, July 28.
Management activated the centre's evacuation plan at around 7.15pm and all the elderly residents were escorted out of the building by staff as smoke engulfed the home.
There have been no reported injuries, but the fire caused extensive damage before firefighters from the South Vega Fire Station in Torrevieja managed to extinguish the flames at 8.30pm.
The Guardia Civil, Local Police and several ambulances were also deployed to the scene.
