Destroyed by flames. This is how a well-known rice restaurant in Orihuela Costa was left after the kitchen and part of the premises burned in a fire that started in the kitchen area. Fortunately, there have been no injuries, since the fire started at dawn, as confirmed by the Alicante Provincial Firefighters Consortium. The causes of the accident are still under investigation.
The notice was received shortly before two in the morning, when the members of the Provincial Firefighters Consortium were alerted to a fire in a well-known rice farm in Orihuela Costa, specifically in polygon 36 near Karting. It was the El Sarmiento rice factory.
Firefighters from the Torrevieja park went there, who spent more than an hour fighting the flames, which were concentrated in the kitchen area. When officers arrived they found large flames and smoke. The officials extinguished the fire after more than two hours of arduous work by the three crews that arrived at the incident.
To fight the fire, the Provincial Fire Consortium used a headquarters command unit, a heavy urban pump and a heavy feeder pump. In addition, it has mobilized a sergeant, a corporal and six firefighters from the Torrevieja park.
