A fright and the scent of smoked cheese for passers-by in Guadalupe

Passers-by received a fright and possibly detected a scent of burnt fondue on Monday lunchtime in Guadalupe de Maciascoque in the northern outskirts of the city of Murcia when a cheese van abruptly caught fire close to the Universidad Católica San Antonio de Murcia (UCAM).

The incident was reported to the 112 emergency services coordination line at approximately 13.25 by various eye witnesses who warned that the vehicle was in danger of being completely engulfed by flames. A large pall of smoke soon darkened the sky above Guadalupe, but fortunately the fire brigade of Murcia were quick to arrive at the scene and no injuries were reported.
