Industrial building inferno was put out at 11.15pm on 25 June 2016, after raging for four days, 11 hours and 31 minutes. Here’s what we know – and what we don’t – about the fire which claimed the lives of two firefighters.
What we do not know is whether the death of two firefighters shall be attributed to the firefighting tactics, the ‘core clearance’ approach" which means to enter the block and put out the blaze. We do not know the tragedy was an "unnecessary sacrifice".
However we do know are:- Across the world, firefighters are generally paid less than the police and receive fewer benefits. Their duties include exposing in cancer-causing chemicals in the blaze battle.
Salute to the Fighters!
