False Alarm Evacuates Escaldes-Engordany Building

Firefighters in Escaldes-Engordany responded to a building fire alarm on Monday that turned out to be a false alert, leading to the temporary evacuation of residents.

Emergency crews dispatched a fire truck and several personnel to the scene after the building's alarm system activated, prompting neighbours to notify authorities. Witnesses reported that the alert sounded, putting occupants on notice and triggering the call to services.

For safety reasons, all residents were evacuated and waited outside while firefighters thoroughly inspected the property to identify any potential hazards or the source of the activation. After completing their checks, the team confirmed no fire or other risks were present, ruling it a false alarm.

Neighbours were then allowed to return to their homes without incident, and the emergency response was fully stood down from the area. No further details on the cause of the alarm activation have been released.
