Firefighters and police continued to search the damaged premises for clues as to how the fire started Sunday in the city of Murcia. They also worked to secure the interior of the building to avoid a possible collapse.
The blaze started around 6 a.m. in a nightclub and spread to two others nearby, Spanish state news agency EFE said.
