Emergency services responded on Tuesday, June 23, 2026, to a fire on the 24th floor of Torre Moeve, one of four skyscrapers in Madrid’s business complex north of Paseo de la Castellana. The incident triggered an evacuation, with employees descending the building’s stairwells as smoke became visible across the capital.
Moeve sources cited by GRAN MADRID said the evacuation was underway as firefighters and police secured the area. Workers gathered outside the 248-meter-tall, 49-floor skyscraper while authorities established a security perimeter. Emergency vehicles and police remained around the building as authorities controlled access, while residents shared images of the smoke from different neighborhoods.
At the time of the report, the cause of the fire had not been determined, and officials had released no information about injuries. Emergency teams were assessing the situation and working to bring the fire under control. Calls from residents reporting smoke and flames reflected the fire’s visibility across Madrid.
Torre Moeve is part of a cluster of high-rise office buildings that define Madrid’s financial skyline. Fires in tall structures pose particular operational challenges: responders must manage evacuation through stairwells and coordinate firefighting across multiple floors, while authorities control access to the building. The incident prompted a response from firefighters and police, while authorities maintained a perimeter around the tower.
