An active fire since this morning is burning the Gas Gas and Torrot facilities in Salt (Girona), especially affecting the northern area of the industrial warehouse.
At half past three in the morning, a fire broke out and is still active at the Gas Gas and Torrot factory. A dozen firefighters and members of both the Mossos d’Esquadra and the local police are working on this fire, which is still active at the moment.

It is known that the fire has caused the fall of the deck of the northern area of the ship, the most affected part. The causes of this disaster are not known, nor has it been revealed if there are any injuries or if any evacuation had to be carried out. The ship, at the moment, remains completely isolated.
UPDATE 3:30 P.M.
Apparently, the fire has affected, according to Gas Gas, only 5% of the factory, but without affecting the production lines, engines or offices, so the damage, despite being significant, is not as serious as it might initially seem.
According to Iván Contreras, of Gas Gas
“The fire has not affected the production lines, we will get them up and running as quickly as possible. We guarantee production and deliveries. They won’t be able to beat us, we will make GasGas even stronger.”
