The fire in the 14-story building in the Campanar neighborhood in Valencia, which broke out on February 22 at around half past five in the afternoon, has left four people dead according to the emergency services. As of early this Friday, the figures are provisional due to the impossibility of accessing the interior of the building at the moment. Between 9 and 15 people remain unaccounted for by their families. The King's House has sent a message after what happened.
