Briton arrested following Benidorm hotel fire: "50 year old is accused of setting his room on fire. Nine British people needed hospital treatment.
Police have arrested a 50 year old Briton, accused of setting fire to the hotel room where he was staying.
Thirteen people, all of them British tourists, had to be treated for smoke inhalation following the fire which also led to the evacuation of six of the ten floors of the Hotel Ambassador in Calle Girona in the town. El País reports nine people of the 200 evacuated were hurt and needed hospital treatment, taken to the district hospital in La Vila Joiosa. Two of the injured were allowed home shortly afterwards.
The fire is thought to have started at 0749 on Tuesday morning. Forensic police are now investigating the origin of the blaze.
The arrested man was celebrating his 50th birthday with his mother, and both are accused of abandoning the hotel without alerting that their room was on fire.
The fire also affected the terrace of a neighbouring bar."
