Over 34,500 residents of three municipalities within the Spanish autonomous community of Madrid received a warning not to leave their homes because of the spread of a cloud of toxic smoke, El Pais reported.

The cloud was created by a fire in an industrial warehouse in Fuenlabrada; one life was claimed as a result of the fire.

According to the reports, at least 40 tons of magnesium and aluminum are burning in the warehouse.

​Firefighters surrounded the building and tried to contain the blaze.

According to them, the warning could be canceled within a few hours.
