Centro de ajuda, prefeito da cidade, uma forma de deixar,
Londoners woke up scared and saddened this Wednesday, the 14th, when the main communication vehicles reported a large fire in the region of Nothing Hill and North Kensington, in the west of the British capital.
Located on Latimer Road, the 24-story Grenfell Tower residential building with 120 apartments began to catch fire around 1 am. So far, authorities have confirmed at least six deaths, in addition to at least 50 injuries.
About 250 firefighters and more than 40 trucks were dispatched to the site, in addition to several ambulances. London Fire Commissioner Dany Cotton referred to the event as “unprecedented”, confirming that the death toll could not yet be confirmed due to the size and complexity of the fire.
“In my 29 years as a firefighter I had never seen anything of this size,” Cotton told reporters at the scene. During the interview, she also stated that the causes of the fire have yet to be confirmed as of yet.
In an interview with The Guardian newspaper , a resident who managed to escape with his daughter and girlfriend reported the chaos in the building: “It was a real nightmare. It looked like something out of a horror movie.”
Other residents and neighbors report that some people were trapped on the upper floors, waiting for rescue and a way out . There are even reports of residents who threw their children out of the window to try to save the children from suffocation by the smoke from the fire. In footage, it is also possible to see desperate residents waving and asking for help on the highest floors of Grenfell Tower.
