A fire broke out on the rooftop of the Facultad de Derecho at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid and was quickly contained. The incident took place at the university’s Ciudad Universitaria campus in Madrid.
The fire drew attention to the risks posed by rooftop installations during periods of high temperatures. AEMET’s Meteoalerta system provides updated information on potentially adverse weather phenomena through forecasts covering up to 72 hours.
Elsewhere in Spain, a wildfire near La Bisbal d'Empordà that forced lockdowns in several Catalan towns also prompted emergency measures.
The Universidad Complutense is among Spain’s historic universities, with its Law Faculty located in Madrid’s academic district.
