Spanish police investigate separate fires in Ferrol and Badajoz

Spanish authorities are investigating two separate fire incidents in Ferrol and Badajoz.

In Ferrol, the National Police are investigating a possible intentional fire in a residential building in the San Pablo neighborhood. Preliminary findings suggest a female resident may have intentionally spilled oil on the stairs, creating multiple points of ignition. While no injuries were reported, the building was evacuated as firefighters controlled the flames. Investigators are considering whether the individual may be suffering from health issues.

In Badajoz, the cause of a fire that destroyed a classroom at Colegio Guadiana on August 23 remains unknown ten days later. While police have not confirmed arson, witnesses reported seeing a group of youths entering the premises, potentially setting fire to a bookshelf. The incident caused significant damage to walls, lighting, and books. Although the classroom has been cleaned, repairs have not yet begun, causing disruptions for the school as the new academic year commences.
