Toxic explosion at Spanish chemical plant covers city in hazardous cloud VIDEO

A powerful explosion at a chemical plant in the Spanish city of Alcalá de Guadaíra, located in the province of Seville, has released a massive toxic cloud, prompting emergency warnings and disrupting life across the area.

According to local news outlet ABC, the explosion triggered a large-scale fire at the facility, where approximately 200,000 litres of flammable substances—namely ethylene, toluene, and industrial solvents—were being stored, Caliber.Az reports.

The resulting toxic cloud has spread within a radius of 3.5 kilometres, raising alarms over potential exposure in adjacent neighbourhoods.

Two individuals were injured in the incident. One sustained burns to his arm, while the other suffered smoke inhalation and required medical attention.

Local authorities have urged residents to remain indoors, keep windows closed, and, if needed, wear protective masks to reduce the risk of inhaling toxic fumes. Officials have yet to determine which parts of the city may be most affected as the chemical cloud continues to drift with the wind.

“A significant volume of gas has been released, and the fire is proving very difficult to extinguish,” a firefighter actively involved in containing the blaze told ABC.

By the evening of May 14, fire crews were able to bring the flames under partial control, but the fire remains active. According to Antonio Sanz, the Minister of the Interior for the autonomous region of Andalusia, it may take several more days to fully extinguish the fire and secure the site.

Plant workers revealed that they had no time to activate the emergency fire suppression system when the explosion occurred.

“We heard the blast and had no choice but to run. Everything caught fire instantly,” said one employee, describing the panic as flames rapidly engulfed the area.
