Grenfell firefighter describes failed ‘personal mission’ to rescue girl

A Grenfell firefighter has told how he cried ' every day' for a month after a 12-year-old girl he desperately tried to save died. David Badillo, who was part of the first crew to get to the inferno last June, promised the elder sister of Jessica Urbano Ramirez he would try to rescue her from their 20th-floor flat. He said he was on a 'personal rescue mission' to save the girl. He made several desperate attempts to save her after her sister gave him the keys to their flat, his written submission to the Grenfell Fire inquiry said. However, Jessica had left flat 176 to take shelter on the 23rd floor, where she was found dead days later after several vigils were held for her, attended by Mr Badillo. She was one of 72 who died in the west London fire on 14 June 2018.
