In statements to EFE, the president of BUSF, Antonio Nogales, a firefighter from the Huelva Municipal Park and coordinator of the team that is going to travel, explained that from the moment they became aware of the catastrophe “we have started to move with the idea of going out this afternoon.
The different groups, such as one from Huelva made up of four people, have left early in the morning by van to Madrid, still without confirmation of tickets, although, as Nogales has indicated, “they have already confirmed that they have a flight at 6:00 p.m. hours”.
