Two people received burn injuries during the night of San Juan on a beach in Salobreña.

The emergency call centre, 112 received their first alert a few minutes before midnight, Friday, to say two people had received burns on Playa La Charca, next to the chiringuito there.

The coordinator despatched the Guardia Civil, Policía Local and an ambulance with paramedics onboard.

The two victims were a 40-year-old woman and a 36-year-old man, both suffering multiple burns. After receiving First Aid, they were both taken to Hospital Santa Ana in Motril.

It appears that the man was later transferred to the general hospital in Granada to undergo surgery.

Meanwhile, in Cataluña, a man died after falling into a bonfire in the municipality of Gimenells on the Pla de la Font (Lleida) and was unable to get out.
