KSH Safety Services is as shocked as everyone else about the terrible fire and events in the Campanar neighbourhood of Valencia. Events are ongoing but from footage on social media it is obvious that a catastrophic event similar to those of Grenfell Tower has happened.
Grenfell showed failings. Failings that those in charge of high rises around the world should have taken heed of and obviously have not.
Our thoughts are with everyone involved in todays fire, be they residents, injured, trapped and the emergency services.
KSH Safety Services está tan conmocionado como todos por el terrible incendio y los acontecimientos ocurridos en el barrio de Campanar de Valencia. Los acontecimientos continúan, pero a partir de las imágenes de las redes sociales se desprende claramente que ha ocurrido un acontecimiento catastrófico similar al de la Torre Grenfell.
Grenfell mostró fallas. Fallos a los que los responsables de los rascacielos de todo el mundo deberían haber prestado atención y, obviamente, no lo han hecho.
Nuestros pensamientos están con todos los involucrados en el incendio de hoy, ya sean residentes, heridos, atrapados y los servicios de emergencia.
Sadly there have been ten fatalities in this incident. Maybthey rest in peace.
