Multiple residential emergencies involving fires and explosions have been reported across various locations in Spain.

In Camponaraya, a 60-year-old man was injured and transported to Hospital del Bierzo following an explosion in a building's boiler room, which subsequently caused a fire.
In Santander, an explosion in a garage in the Castilla-Hermida area led to a fire that damaged two parked vehicles and forced the preventive evacuation of approximately 20 residents.
