The fire took place in the industrial estate Zangroiz in Sondika (Bizkaia). The fire has been under control since 06:00, but the roof of the industrial hall has fallen down. The fire has been on at night, so no one has had to get out of the ship because it was empty.

The smoke mist generated by the fire has been large and have warned that, taking into account the material they handle in the plant, it is possible that the smoke is very toxic.

The news reports that two weeks ago there was a new fire in the same company, inferior to the current one. Last year he suffered another fire.
