A massive fire has erupted at a large Honda facility close to Barcelona, specifically at the Honda Motor España plant in Santa Perpètua de Mogoda. Thick smoke can be observed billowing high into the sky from the plant.
Responding to the fire, 17 fire engines have been dispatched to the scene as flames broke out on the building’s roof, which is equipped with solar panels. Authorities have cautioned nearby individuals to avoid approaching the fire area and engaging in outdoor activities. They have also advised residents to shut doors and windows if smoke is present.
Emergency services are actively working outside the premises to contain the fire and prevent it from spreading to other sections of the industrial estate. Access to the building’s interior has not been possible thus far. The fire is generating a dense column of smoke near the AP-7 motorway, causing traffic congestion in both directions near Barberà del Vallès.
Footage captured from a nearby highway displays smoke emanating from the engulfed facility. Additionally, a video shared by the local fire service depicts rescue teams on the scene against a backdrop of billowing smoke.
According to a post on X, firefighting efforts are ongoing at an industrial warehouse within the Torre del Rector industrial estate in Santa Perpètua de Mogoda, specifically dedicated to the automotive sector. The fire department is deploying 18 units with the primary goal of preventing the fire’s spread to adjacent warehouses.
The fire, which originated on the building’s roof with solar panels, has completely consumed the ceiling and interior, as confirmed by the Fire Department. The entire building has been evacuated, and fortunately, no injuries have been reported.
