Emergencias 112 informs that it is no longer necessary to close windows or avoid walking on the street due to the favorable evolution of the smoke generated by the fire declared in a waste battery and cell company in Azuqueca de Henares.
The technicians from 112 issued the recommendations after the Government of Castilla-La Mancha expanded the reception range to the south of the municipality of Azuqueca, bordering the Madrid region.
