Smores, anyone?
They say the main problem is that the security services of the building wait too much time trying to stop the fire themselves and didn't call the firefighters. When this came it the fire was so huge that couldn't go in and simply wait for the fire to extingish itself.
The building was the spanish office of the consultancy Deloitte (20 floors) and now they have... uh... some logistics problems (they say that the have an off the building backup of their servers from the thursday, but I can only think in all the things that were not in the servers).
