For his part, the journalist and lawyer Daniel Colina lamented that there is currently a deficiency in the equipment and implements necessary to deal with this type of situation.
“How unfortunate that we are not prepared for this. Thank God that there is still the mystique and the Firefighters and PC personnel, who do not have the necessary equipment or implements. It’s time for a #SOSBomberosVzla and a #SOSPCVenezuela”, he wrote.
