I’m told the fire brigade took 47 minutes to reach the fire. Their response seems limited as well. I was surprised to see so few fire trucks and working water sources in the news photographs. In the USA there would be dozens of trucks and hose lines in action.

And it still would have taken them 20 to 30 minutes to get there in the middle of rush hour.
