[QUOTE="Kathar1na, post: 982394, member: 15378"] Thank you, [USER=50710]@MinaKamina[/USER], for summing up what the fireman said in the video about the cause of the fire in La Faba being unknown. I could hear him say the word [I]chimenea - [/I]chimney - and it not having been in use recently or something like that. I learnt only recently that chimneys need to be cleaned because otherwise the thin layer of particles inside it can become highly inflammable. I am often amazed at the level of my ignorance. Since my childhood in a small village I have known that the officially appointed chimney sweeper comes once a year to clean our chimney (no open fireplace but central oil heating) but I never wondered why ... and from time to time I look at the Twitter feed of the Bomberos of Navarra, and other than rescuing exhausted pilgrims from the Route Napoleon they also frequently have photos of their recent tasks of extinguishing a fire that started in a chimney. The last such incidence was 22 hours ago ... Anyway, the cause of this devastating fire in La Faba is unknown. I understand that the albergue was closed anyway and that the owner had been elsewhere and the place was unattended. [/QUOTE]
