This measure is carried out with the assistance of the City Fire Department due to the existing structural risk following the collapse. This Monday, the City Fire Department deployed more than 20 personnel to the operation to remove essential items from the departments of the towers affected by the parking lot collapse. In the days following the collapse, the City Police deployed over 100 officers on a 24-hour basis to protect the belongings of those affected and established a perimeter. The site is also staffed by members of the Assistance Guard, Civil Defense, and Prevention Agents. Buenos Aires, March 9 (NA) – Tenants and owners of towers B, C, and D of the Estación Buenos Aires complex in Parque Patricios are entering their apartments today to retrieve their belongings, following authorization from the Justice Department. It was indicated that firefighters are not allowed to enter the homes, but will only accompany residents to the door. Once personal belongings have been removed, a corresponding report will be filed. In turn, specialized personnel set up a mobile control center and a medical unit, confirmed to the Argentine News Agency.
