Emergency services received the alarm at approximately 3:30 AM on Wednesday, March 18, reporting a fire in a six-storey building on Carrer de Verdi. Seven fire crews from the [**Bombers de la Generalitat**](https://interior.gencat.cat/ca/arees%5Fdactuacio/bombers/?ref=barna.news), Catalonia’s firefighting corps, were dispatched to the scene in the coastal city just north of Barcelona.

## Intense Blaze Required Major Emergency Response

Arriving at the scene, firefighters encountered an intense blaze that had fully engulfed a second-floor apartment. The flames also damaged the floor below, according to initial reports. Crews successfully rescued two people trapped inside the burning flat.

In a social media update around 7 AM, the Bombers confirmed the fire had been extinguished. The [**Sistema d’Emergències Mèdiques (SEM)**](https://sem.gencat.cat/?ref=barna.news) managed the medical response, mobilising four ambulances and a joint team to treat the injured.

In total, four people received medical attention at the scene. Paramedics rushed one woman, who sustained critical injuries, to Barcelona’s renowned [**Hospital Universitari Vall d’Hebron**](https://www.vallhebron.com/en?ref=barna.news) for specialist care. They also transported a man with less severe injuries to the local **Hospital Municipal de Badalona**.

Emergency services also treated a further two people, a man and a woman, for less serious injuries; both were discharged at the scene, as [El Periódico](https://www.elperiodico.com/es/barcelona/20260318/incendio-vivienda-badalona-provoca-herido-critico-128105954?ref=barna.news) reported. Authorities do not yet know the fire’s cause, and an investigation will follow.

## A Series of Recent Incidents

This incident is one of several emergencies affecting the Barcelona metropolitan area in recent weeks. Public safety services have also managed the aftermath of a shooting in Badalona’s Sant Roc neighbourhood and a serious stabbing in a Sant Martí warehouse that also left a man critically injured.

Other recent events requiring emergency responses include a bar fire in L’hospitalet and a tunnel fire in Barcelona that caused significant disruption to key train lines, highlighting the constant challenges faced by the region’s first responders.
