BarcelonaA fire at a cosmetics company forced firefighters this afternoon to ask residents of the Sant Andreu neighborhood of Barcelona to self-isolate to avoid smoke poisoning. An hour later, the city council announced that the measure had been lifted, and by early afternoon, firefighters had declared the fire under control. They also confirmed that the fire at the company's industrial warehouse located on Costa Brava Street in the Catalan capital, next to the La Maquinista shopping center, had not left anyone injured.
