Fire at Andorra Recycling Plant Sparks Environmental Concern
A warehouse fire at an Andorra recycling facility released thick smoke over central Andorra, raising concerns about air quality and hazardous material exposure.
On 6 April 2026, a major fire broke out in a warehouse at the Santa Coloma recycling plant in Andorra. The blaze spread quickly through flammable stored materials, producing dense smoke that was visible across the central valley. Firefighters contained the fire within hours but environmental authorities are monitoring potential contamination from chemical runoff and smoke particles. The exact cause of the fire remains under investigation, though early reports suggest an electrical fault in the storage area.
