A man died on Tuesday afternoon, along with his dog, in a fire on Calle Los Rosales, in the Mirador del Mediterraneo urbanisation of San Miguel de Salinas.
The fire broke out at 12 noon in a bungalow in the urbanization. The flames quickly engulfed the property, to the point that, according to the Provincial Firefighters Consortium, the fire was visible from the façade, pouring out a large amount of smoke.
Although the firefighters from the Torrevieja Park rescued the man and the pet upon their arrival, their resuscitation was not possible.
The bomberas said out that the house was completely gutted due to fire and smoke.
The troops, five firefighters, a sergeant and a corporal, worked hard to extinguish the fire made difficult by the intense flames and the large amount of smoke coming out of the bungalow.
