READ MORE:Updates after 75 firefighters to deal with the heavy fire in the high-rise building in Coventry Team commander Marc Hudson, the incident commander, said: “It was a violent fire in an apartment on the 15th floor that spread to the balcony of the apartment above. Our first crews arrived within two minutes of the mobilization. They faced a very difficult incident. It was very hot and visibility was poor. “We used specialized equipment that allowed us to put out the fire with water from the lower floor. He was extremely effective in extinguishing the fire and helped to make the conditions for our crews easier to use. “Fortunately, all the residents who were immediately affected by the incident were evacuated without injuries and no one was taken to the hospital. All the bodies that responded cooperated well. These included the Hazardous Area Response Team (HART) of the ambulance service that assisted us in the emergency area. “There are alternative accommodations for those residents who have been displaced. The cause of the fire is unknown at this stage and our investigators will begin their examination at the site during the day. Drone footage from the incident was also released by the fire service.
