Firefighters from the Murcia Region Fire Extinction and Rescue Consortium (CEIS) and a forest brigade were called to a warehousing storage area next to the RM-714 highway, between Calasparra and Caravaca de la Cruz, in the Canara district of Cehegín on Saturday afternoon, when one of the trailers in the yard caught fire.
The first call came in to the 112 Emergency Coordination Center of the Region at 3:29 p.m informing the emergency services that two trailer truck trailers were on fire and that the strong wind risked spreading the fire to vegetation nearby.
One of the trailers was loaded with textile materials and gave off a large column of black smoke, which could be seen from Moratalla.
Local police officers from Calasparra and Cehegín, firefighters from the Murcia Region Fire Extinction and Rescue Consortium, an environmental agent from the area and a forestry brigade from the Forest Fire Defense Unit all attended the call-out, containing the fire to just the two trailers and preventing it from spreading to the nearby warehouse unit and surrounding countryside.
The cause of the fire is currently unknown.
