The firefighters have approached to "mark the area and prevent people from passing through there and suffering any mishap or accident", as reported by sources from the Security and Emergency Consortium to La Voz.

It will not be until the morning of this Wednesday when they can work with the appropriate means and safely to be able to restore it.
