The teams managed to extinguish the fire by 1.36am, according to Marbella town hall. It was an arduous and long task due to the virulence of the flames, which had reached the batteries of the carts. This caused a dense smoke visible from various points in the town.

The fire represents a significant financial loss for the club given the value of each of the carts.
