The fire broke out in a small building situated on an estate in the upper area of El Time, in Tijarafe. The operation to extinguish the flames involved agents from the Environment department, firefighters from the Laguna park, the Guardia Civil, and volunteers from Sin Suelas.
The area where the incident occurred is known for being a meeting point for people of foreign nationality, who typically use it for organizing unauthorized parties.
“"Neither the 'Casa del Húngaro' nor the dwelling that burned has electricity, so the origin of the fire is not a short circuit."
According to residents of the area who spoke to this newspaper, the absence of electrical supply in the affected building and the main estate suggests that the origin of the fire was not due to a short circuit.
