A fire has engulfed two residential buildings in the eastern Spanish city of Valencia, injuring at least 13 people and sending fleeing residents onto balconies where they were rescued by firefighters, officials said.
Firefighters rushed to the scene in the city centre where flames could be seen bursting from the windows of the 14-storey residential building where the blaze apparently started.
Residents could be seen waiting to be rescued on balconies.
Firefighters used a crane to rescue two residents from one of the balconies.
Soldiers from Spain’s Military Emergency Unit were also deployed and medics set up a large tent to tend to the injured on the scene.
