"Valencia Fire Triggers Cladding Concerns and Postpones Local Games"
Families affected by the Grenfell Tower fire have visited the site of the recent fatal blaze in Valencia, expressing concerns about the cladding used in the Spanish building, which may be similar to the type implicated in the Grenfell disaster. Construction images suggest the use of cladding panels made by the Spanish multinational Alucoil, with one type known to be highly combustible and no longer marketed. Experts note similarities in the fire's rapid spread and the cladding's behavior to that of the Grenfell fire. The Valencia fire has reignited fears about the use of potentially hazardous cladding in buildings, prompting calls for improved fire safety regulations.
