The first flames were detected around noon. When 2,000 tons of scrap metal were coming out of Christine's ship from England. A large load of the ship was cars that had been destroyed and there were tires and easily ignited materials. That’s why black smoke dominated the large fire. At nine o’clock at night the fire was extinguished, but the firefighters remained in the fire zone to cool the scrap so that it wouldn’t burn again.

Many people came to see the fire but the residents of the surrounding villages were angry. In the Plaza de Lezo where they met in the afternoon, we are drowned by the Port. This is not wellness. In Lezo there is no quality of life under the motto. It is an old demand that the port be returned to the citizens “because it is the only option to ensure proper management”. Also through social networks, several residents of Oarsoaldea have wanted to make it clear that what happened on Thursday is not a coincidence and that they want a change in the port of Pasaia.
