A series of vehicle and building fires occurred in Vigo, Spain. On October 15, a motorcycle fire in an underground garage on Pizarro Street spread to a nearby car, creating a large plume of smoke. This incident led to street closures and the evacuation of a local bakery and some residents.

On October 16, emergency services, including fire departments and police, responded to another fire in a residential building on Sanjurjo Badía Street. Smoke was reported emanating from the ground floor, necessitating traffic restrictions near the intersection with Rúa Coutadas while firefighters worked to ventilate the garage and identify the source of the flames. No injuries were reported in either incident.

On October 30, a third fire occurred at the Ponty bar on Doctor Carracido Street. The blaze originated in the establishment’s electrical panel and spread to the bar area, causing significant material damage. As a precaution due to dense smoke, emergency services instructed residents of the building to remain confined to their homes for approximately 20 minutes. No injuries or intoxications were reported.
