Accident – Death – Obituary News :
Last month, a devastating fire in an apartment block in Valencia claimed the lives of 10 people. The tragedy shook the Campanar district of the city, leaving many questions unanswered. However, a recent revelation by the Government delegate in the Valencian Community, Pilar Bernabe, has shed light on the cause of the blaze.
The Cause of the Fire
Bernabe disclosed on Monday that the fire was started by a faulty kitchen appliance, potentially a refrigerator. This revelation dispels earlier speculations that the blaze originated from an electrical short circuit in a balcony awning mechanism outside an apartment.
The Policia Nacional concluded last Friday that there was no criminal intent behind the fire, prompting the investigating court to close its inquiries. The blaze, which erupted on the evening of February 22 in an eighth-floor unit, quickly engulfed the building due to the flammable materials in the wall.
Aftermath of the Tragedy
As the community mourns the loss of lives, insurance company assessors have been granted access to the damaged building under police supervision. The tragic incident has highlighted the importance of fire safety measures and the need for vigilance in households.
The Valencia apartment block fire serves as a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of a simple appliance malfunction. It underscores the importance of regular maintenance and safety checks in homes to prevent such tragedies from occurring.
As the investigation into the fire concludes, the community must come together to support the affected families and ensure that measures are put in place to prevent similar incidents in the future.
