Italian firefighters are continuing to search a 20-story apartment building in Milan that was destroyed by fire. There have been no victims and firefighters say there is no indication anyone is missing inside.
The blaze recalled the deadly fire that swept through Grenfell Tower in London in 2017. In that case, the cladding on the outside of that building was blamed for the speed at which the fire engulfed the block, and officials noted similar issues in the Milan fire.
Residents said the blaze quickly spread through the cladding on the facade, which they said was supposed to have been fire resistant, Corriere della Sera reported. Firefighters broke through doors apartment by apartment in the search for anyone left inside and followed up by telephoning residents who remained unaccounted-for. “There is no evidence of anyone missing,” said commander Felice Iraca.
