Firefighters responded to a minor electrical panel fire in an apartment building on Avinguda Fiter i Rossell in Escaldes-Engordany during the early hours of Sunday morning, but the incident resulted in no serious consequences.
The Andorran fire brigade sent two units to number 38 at 00:15 after receiving an alert. By the time professionals arrived, residents had already put out the small flames from the electrical panel, reducing the call to what authorities later described as a false alarm with minimal impact.
No smoke was visible from outside, and emergency teams entered ready for possible risks. Personnel confirmed the fire was extinguished and carried out inspections before most units left the scene. A FEDA electricity technician examined the panel, police managed related tasks, and traffic agents stood by for any street requirements. An ambulance from the public health service was also present.
Neighbours gathered on the street, balconies, or at windows to observe the response shortly after midnight. No injuries or further damage were reported. Officials have since classified the event as a scare with no major effects.
