The academic institution has conveyed its affection and closeness to all those affected, especially those who have had to abandon their homes or have seen their homes and businesses lost. The University acknowledges the extraordinary severity of the situation, which has led to the declaration of national interest emergency and requires a joint response from institutions and society.
Furthermore, the University of Alcalá has expressed its sincere gratitude to the members of the emergency services for their professionalism and dedication in fighting the fire. Their tireless efforts to protect lives and contain the advance of the flames are an example of public service deserving of society's recognition.
“"Our thoughts are especially with those who have had to leave their homes, with the families who have seen their homes, businesses, or the fruit of a lifetime of effort lost, and with those who face with uncertainty the consequences of a tragedy that leaves a deep human, social, and environmental mark."
As a public university committed to society, the UAH reaffirms its willingness to collaborate with public administrations. In line with this commitment, and similar to what happened with the fire in Guadalajara, the University has made available the places in its university residences to the authorities of the Community of Madrid to meet accommodation needs arising from the emergency.
The institution reiterates its support and closeness to those affected, trusting that collective effort will help contain the fires, assist those most in need, and facilitate the recovery of the affected municipalities.
