Transcript

00:00Liston Diario presents the editorial from the director.

00:30How is it possible that the country's second capital, vibrant and constantly expanding,

00:35lacks a superb and functional emergency infrastructure?

00:39Tall buildings, symbols of modernity, become death traps without firefighters equipped

00:44to climb them, without adequate vehicles, without sufficient personnel?

00:48Who will answer when hell knocks on the doors of a crowded shopping mall?

00:52Who will rescue families trapped at heights?

00:55The blood has already been shed.

00:56Just yesterday, in Don Pedro, five lives were extinguished in flames.

01:01This is not an isolated case.

01:03Fires devour homes and businesses with alarming frequency.

01:07Sinkholes threaten foundations.

01:09Structural risks lurk.

01:11Every day without a modern rescue operations center is a sign of vulnerability for every

01:16Santiago resident.

01:17We demand that the central government and the Santiago mayor's office radically accelerate

01:22all procedures for the completion of the central fire station.

01:26This project must be declared a national safety priority.

01:29Twelve years of neglect are twelve years of accumulated irresponsibility.
