The eldest son of Guillena’s family (Seville) who died completely in the fire This Sunday he arrived home with the fire already lit and died trying to save his life of his parents and his brother, according to a neighbor on Fernando Martín Street, where the event occurred. The first hypotheses of the research point towards a battery failure electric scooter as a possible cause of the fire.
Inmaculada, a neighbor on the same street, explained that the eldest son lived in Seville, but had gone to a party in Guillena. After completing the event, “he was late” and decided to spend the night at his parents’ house.
“It was he who gave the alarm voice when he opened the door of his house. “He didn’t think about it, he went in to save his parents and his brother, and none of the four came out,” he told the media. The woman explained that the fire happened downstairs “and they were sleeping upstairs, and there were bars upstairs.”
José Antonio Rendón (47 years old), Antonia Hidalgo (52 years old), José Antonio (20 years old) and Adrián (16 years old) died in the fire.
A “nightmare”
The neighbor defined what she experienced as “a nightmare”both for the deceased and for what happened in the street, where a large security system was put in place: “Some neighbors were the first to try to help, and they swallowed everything. They tried hitting rubber bands and fire extinguishers, a neighbor even took out a fire extinguisher he had at home, but it was like throwing drops of water on a candle, it didn’t do anything.” , he lamented.
This Monday, from 10:00 a.m., hundreds of neighbors are present at the municipal sports pavilion to support the family. THE funeral mass will take place from 7:00 p.m.
Emergency services began receiving calls from neighbors as early as 8:05 a.m. on Sunday, warning that several people were trapped in a fire that broke out inside a two-storey semi-detached house Located on Fernando Martín Street.
“In just 17 minutes”As the city mayor, Lorenzo Medina, explained, three teams of firefighters arrived from the neighboring municipalities of Ronquillo and Santiponce. The 061 health services as well as the Civil Guard and local police were also activated. But the speed with which the fire and smoke spread through the house prevented the family from escaping with their lives.
The bodies of the four members of the family were found togethers at the back of the house, as if they had tried to go out onto the terrace to, from there, access the stairs which would have led them to the roof, as the mayor explained.
The couple worked in Mercasevillain the fruit trade, and the children studied in Guillena and were part of the municipality’s sports teams.
