A fire believed to have been started by a flambéed pizza has killed two people and injured 12 others at a restaurant in the Spanish capital of Madrid, city officials say
“It appears the fire started when a flambéed pizza was being served, which set fire to the decorations in the restaurant,” Madrid Mayor Jose Luis Martinez Almeida told Spain’s state television TVE at the scene on Saturday, hours after the late Friday night blaze. Spanish media reported that a specialty of the restaurant was a pizza in the flambé style - a cooking procedure where spirits are poured on the food and briefly set alight.
“Firefighters told me it was a ferocious fire in the way it started and the smoke it generated, and if the fire station wasn’t just 100 meters away, the number of fatalities could have been higher,” said Almeida, speaking to TVE.
