The investigation considers a short circuit as the cause of the Valencia fire. The scientific police have already inspected the floor where the fire that caused the death of 10 people in a building originated.
Police sources have limited themselves to indicating that this is a hypothesis of the investigation. Several residents of the neighborhood who saw the beginning of the incident on Thursday afternoon agreed that the flames were coming from a balcony and, specifically, from a curtain or an awning that is powered by an electric motor. Between 65% and 80% of fires are caused by electrical failures.
