Guadarrama residential fire kills one and injures eleven

A residential fire in Guadarrama, Madrid, resulted in the death of a 60-year-old man and injuries to eleven other people. The blaze broke out around 06:00 on a Sunday in a four-story building on Calle Nuevo Guadarrama, originating on the ground floor.

The deceased man suffered a cardiorespiratory arrest due to smoke inhalation. Despite approximately 30 minutes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) efforts by SUMMA 112 medical personnel, he could not be revived. Among the injured, a 50-year-old woman and a 12-year-old girl were in serious condition and required intubation.

Emergency services, including nine units from the Community of Madrid Firefighters, rescued three people and two dogs from the building. Nine other individuals, including four minors, were treated for mild smoke inhalation. The Guardia Civil is currently investigating the circumstances to determine the cause of the fire.
