      Details     03 September 2013           *![alt](https://www.gerenciadeedificios.com/images/stories/VDS/Noticias/medellinincendioproteccion.jpg)Colombia.* The Administrative Department of Emergency and Disaster Risk Management of Medellín, Dagrd, appointed a Prevention Commission of the Medellín Fire Department to inspect the fire safety systems of the buildings around the Atanasio Girardot Sports Unit and the IV Army Brigade, west of the city.

The director of the Dagrd, Carlos Alberto Gi l, said that the decision was made, because a few days ago there was a fire that destroyed a fourth-floor apartment of a 13-story building and it was established that it had no emergency plan or fire systems.

Although the conflagration did not leave human victims, it did set off alarms and showed the lack of concrete fire initiatives in the city of Medellín, especially with regard to the residential sector.

"The fire destroyed the apartment and was started, apparently, by a short circuit in the connection of a washing machine. Because of this emergency we had to evacuate 150 people," said the director of the Dagrd.

Firefighters will meet with the administrators of each of the buildings to begin taking corrective measures.
