Two people were injured and taken to hospital in a flat fire in Seville in the early hours of 6 October 2026. According to the 1-1-2 emergency service of the Agencia de Emergencias de Andalucía the first call came in at around 01:40. Several callers reported a fire in a flat on Calle Mirlo in the Los Pajaritos and said that people were trapped inside.
1-1-2 immediately alerted the fire service, Sanitätsdienst 061, with Policía Local and the Cecop for incident coordination. According to information from the Junta de Andalucía at least one man jumped from a third-floor window; neighbours had laid out blankets and a mattress, which he landed on. Paramedics treated two injured people at the scene and then took them to the trauma unit at Virgen del Rocío. No information about their condition was initially released.
Cecop said the affected flat had been completely damaged. Firefighters put out the blaze and carried out follow-up checks before handing the scene over to the relevant authorities. No information about the possible cause of the fire was available in the early hours; at this stage, no investigation has been officially confirmed.
The incident took place in a densely built-up area with multi-storey residential buildings. In Seville, 1-1-2, the fire service and medical teams regularly coordinate the initial response to flat fires; when several people are affected, Cecop is brought in as the local coordination centre. The nationwide 1-1-2 emergency number receives reports in real time, prioritises them and dispatches the appropriate services, while Cecop coordinates roadblocks, evacuation routes and liaison between the Policía Local, fire service incident commanders and Sanitätsdienst 061 at the scene. Once the fire is out, standard procedures include ventilation, checks for remaining hot spots and an inspection of the affected flat for immediate hazards; only then is the situation handed over to municipal services.
The facts, timings and response details are based on the Junta de Andalucía statement of 6 October 2026. Consistent reports in local media also mention Calle Mirlo and the Los Pajaritos district, as well as the jump from the third floor as an escape route. The cause and the injured people's condition remain unknown and will be updated if the authorities release further information.
