INCENDIO VALENCIA: "SIEMPRE me ha dado la IMPRESIÓN de que el EDIFICIO era de CARTÓN PIEDRA" | RTVE

The speed of the flames surprised residents, passersby, and owners of businesses near the Campanar residential building in Valencia. The fire started this Thursday at 5:30 p.m. and has left at least 13 people injured, six of them firefighters. Vicente, a resident of one of the affected apartments, was returning from exercising when he encountered the first signs of the fire. "We all managed to get out, except for the two people who were rescued at the last minute. It was madness," he recounted. Once the alarm was raised, residents began to emerge, watching as their homes were consumed by the flames one by one until the entire building was gutted. Ana Mari González works at a clinic near the building and witnessed the rescue attempts for one of the trapped residents. "A teenager was trapped on the first floor, and they tried to put up an inflatable mattress, but the falling incandescent material tore it apart," she explained to Canal 24 Horas. Police have now set up two ladders to reach the floor and rescue him. #fire #valencia #neighbors #campanar #rodrigomaestro #firefighters #rescue #flames #suma #ume #witnesses #homes #news #LiveNews #StreamingNews #spain #newsinspanish #news 👉👉 More news: https://www.rtve.es/noticias ➤SUBSCRIBE to RTVE News on YouTube: https://bit.ly/2WtyvUx ✔️Follow us on Instagram:   / rtvenoticias   ✔️Follow us on Twitter:   / rtvenoticias   ✔️Follow us on Facebook:   / rtvenoticias
