A 47-year-old man died in a fire in his apartment in Valladolid on Saturday morning.

The incident occurred at number 3 Cisne Street, where the deceased lived with his mother, who was not seriously injured.

Eight people were hospitalized due to smoke poisoning, according to the Castilla y León subordinate government. Of these, five were minors who lived in a neighboring apartment on the fourth floor, where the deceased, his mother and two other people who were not seriously injured lived.

According to preliminary reports from Valladolid police and firefighters, a fire caused by a brazier is a possible cause of the incident.

The first calls to emergency services came in around 10 a.m.

when neighbors noticed smoke coming from the involved apartment.

The quick response of medical personnel and police were able to enter the house where the fire was coming from and rescue the deceased, but his severe burns to his face and most of his body were so severe that his life could not be saved when he was transported to the hospital by ambulance.

Alberto Toquero, health and civil security counselor for the municipality of Vallisolet, gave more information about the incident:

"We are talking about a wheelchair-bound disabled person." The counselor explained that when help arrived at the home, they found the victim sitting "in a chair," so the fire caused severe burns that proved fatal, leaving the person unable to defend himself.

Toquero explained that the occupants of the building will be allowed to return to their homes while the scene will be investigated to ascertain the cause of the fire:

"The problem was the smoke." He also noted that the neighbors acted competently, covering the door cracks with towels to prevent the passage of smoke and possible poisoning "to prevent the worst consequences" before the arrival of specialists and authorities.

In the same apartment where the man suffered severe burns lived his mother, one of eight people hospitalized due to smoke poisoning spread in this building on Cisne Street in the Pajarillos neighborhood of Valladolid, an area with ancient buildings, many of which have faulty heating systems that often result in the use of space heaters or braziers, which are suspected to have caused this fire.

The other two people are renting the apartment where the incident occurred, but they were hardly affected.

Medical assistance was provided to the neighbors in the apartment across from the victim.

A family lives there, all seven members - a pregnant woman, her partner, and five minor children - were taken to the hospital due to smoke inhalation caused by a fire.

The decision was made for preliminary purposes, the advisor explained, as none of them posed a particular threat.
