I hope there's no victim
My toughts go to all pets and animals trapped in these fires…😢
People tend to rescue themselfs ☝️
Was it full of 'new comers' ? We know they like to start fires !
The residents weren't told to stay in their apartments unlike those in the Grenfell tragedy. Burned to death on live tv.😭

It seems to be the same cladding as Grenfell.
Building made of paper
Check out the bbc report. Some anonymous guy says that it was the cladding – right away and with no hesitation! That’s impossible. And it’s immediately confirmed by Esther Puchades, vice president of the College of Industrial Technical Engineers of Valencia. And she says she had previously inspected the building. Something is not right.
🔥👨🚒 The bravery of firefighters is truly commendable! This video highlights their heroic efforts in rescuing residents during a devastating fire. 🚒👏
Same materials as in the Grenfell. Exactly the same: aluminum with polyurethane inside
😢
🌍🌏🌎😔😔😔
This looks familiar…
The poor pets inside😢😢😢😢
The same dynamics as the Grenfell Tower, Torre dei Moro (Milano). External thermal claddings that are supposed to withstand fire, instead burn like matches in windy conditions. These materials are tested in unrealistic conditions because in the outdoor environment, the wind and the high temperatures triggered completely change the parameters of fire resistance.
TODOS SOMOS VALENCIA MUCHO FUERZA😭😭😭DESDE AFRICA
At least 10 people dead at 05:00PM.

POLYURETHANE insulation. Building codes? We don't need no stinking building codes.
