A 51-year-old man was injured in a house fire in La Laguna on Tenerife on 15 October 2026. The fire broke out at around 19:20 in a flat on Camino Los Andenes . According to the Gobierno de Canarias the alarm was received by the Centro Coordinador de Emergencias y Seguridad (CECOES 112), which dispatched the relevant emergency services.
The Consorcio de Bomberos de Tenerife extinguished the flames and then ventilated the building. For medical assistance, the Servicio de Urgencias Canario dispatched an advanced ambulance and a basic life support ambulance. At the scene, medical staff classified the man’s injuries as moderate, subject to possible complications. He was taken by ambulance to the Hospital Universitario de Canarias transported.
The Policía Local and the Policía Nacional were also at the scene. They helped coordinate the teams there and began the necessary investigations. There was initially no information about the cause of the fire or the extent of the property damage.
The Gobierno de Canarias announcement gives the precise location, the institutions involved and the time the alarm was raised. No further details – such as which flat was affected, whether there were any evacuations or how many other people were involved – have been published. As the emergency services’ wording indicates, the injured man’s condition may change depending on his subsequent clinical progress; any update from the authorities is awaited.
The reported timeline is consistent with the published times: the alarm was raised in the early evening of 15 October, and the incident was announced on 16 October 2026. The police will report on the cause once their investigation is complete; until then, claims about how the fire started or the extent of the damage cannot be verified.
The facts presented here are based on the official incident report from the Gobierno de Canarias. It documents the coordinated response by the fire service, ambulance service and police to a house fire on Camino Los Andenes in the municipality of La Laguna, Tenerife, and confirms that the injured 51-year-old was taken to Hospital Universitario de Canarias.
