The fire that broke out this Friday morning in a hotel under construction on Avenida da Liberdade in Lisbon and which is already considered contained, eventually spread to the roof of the building. The building belongs to the group JNcQUOI House.
According to Sapadores de Lisboa commander Alexandre Rodrigues, the fire is being fought defensively and outside the building. The fire must be extinguished within two hours.
“There was a complete loss of elements of the second and third floors and the roof,” the commander added.
The fire has been contained and there are no reports of casualties. Due to the voltage drop, the fireman had to be assisted by INEM staff.
The alert was given to the Lisbon Engineer Regiment at 9:32. The sapadors are on the ground with 80 militants supported by 15 vehicles.
According to a source in the Public Security Police (PSP), the fire broke out on the third floor of the building being reconstructed and spread to the remaining floors.
At 10:30 a.m., PSP and municipal police officers were still on the scene, but there were no signs of any restrictions on movement in the area.
