During the intervention, firefighters faced an initial delay, as they were initially denied access to the area where the damaged elevator was located.
However, minutes later, firefighters were able to enter the building to begin rescue operations.
Finally, the State Civil Protection Coordination was in charge of inspecting and verifying the equipment’s operation, which will determine the safety conditions for its operation.
