Eighty Boats Burned In Marbella Marina Blaze

A huge fire broke out at Marbella’s Bajadilla Marina yesterday destroying eighty boats which were being stored in a warehouse.  The Mayor of Marbella Angela Munoz says she believes that the blaze was started by a random spark in the warehouse.

The blaze began at 7.30pm on Wednesday (11th January).  30 firefighters tackled the fire along with 12 civil protection volunteers.  The fire took hold and spread rapidly, with the warehouse collapsing just minutes after the fire started.  It was brought under control at 9pm, and was finally extinguished earlier this morning.  Three fire engines remained on site overnight damping down the flames.

The warehouse fire was extinguished early in the morning on the 12th January.

One firefighter suffered minor injuries whilst tackling the blaze.
