# One dead in Palos de la Frontera shanty fire

26 September 2026 at 12:27

> A fire at a shanty settlement in Huelva has claimed the life of one person and destroyed twenty dwellings in the San Jorge industrial estate.

An immigrant has died following a fire at a shanty settlement in the San Jorge industrial estate in **Palos de la Frontera**, **Huelva**. **Emergencies 112 Andalucía** received reports at 9:00 AM, prompting a large response from police, firefighters and the **Red Cross**.

The **Huelva Provincial Firefighters Consortium** confirmed the blaze affected twenty shanties. Four firefighters from San Juan del Puerto attended the scene, though intense smoke initially prevented a judge from accessing the victim. The cause remains unknown.

This settlement, one of Huelva's largest, houses agricultural workers year-round. The tragedy follows a similar fatal fire in the province on 12 September and a major blaze at this same site in May 2023, which destroyed 120 shanties and caused one injury.
