A middle-aged woman died on Wednesday afternoon in a fire at her home in calle Pedro Jover in the centre of Almeria.
The fire started in one of the bedrooms just after 13:20, trapping the woman. Her mother, who has mobility problems, was in the adjoining room and firemen managed to rescue her. She suffered minor injuries.
The fire was intense and caused the evacuation of the whole building as a precautionary measure. Despite the heat and smoke, there was no structural damage to the building.
