strangers threw tonight inflammable material that caused a fire and destroyed four figures of the main part of Falla Ayuntamiento, the most representative of the celebrations.
The event happened around the 03.00 hours of the dawn when young people, in a motorcycle, threw inflammable material, apparently a bottle with papers ignited in a kind of molotov cocktail and they left fleeing.
The falla was guarded by guards of security, who could not avoid the vandalism act.
Firemen of Valencia, that was warned of the fire 3.29 hours through a call to Emergencies 112, informed to elmundo.es that three of the four parts of the falla have been destroyed completely and the rest is partially burned.
NOTE:n ot well explained, 3 of the 4 figures of the central part were affected by the fire, rest of the fallas is ok
The destroyed figures represented the figure protagonist (a woman and her son) and an African woman. Other four pieces that were going to be taken to the place in the next days are out of danger in the factory.
The councilman of Celebrations of the Valencian City council and president of the Central Meeting Fallera, Felix Crespo, has indicated that the authors of the falla "see possible" to recover the pieces so that they are "most similar" to the original ones.
Crespo indicated that in the factory they have the images recorded in the computer, reason why they will transfer them to white cork and they will use "fast" paintings to try to recompose the monument before the night of the 15 of March, date of ' plantà'.
The priority of the City council will be to recover the figures of the mother and the boy, protagonists of the falla, whereas the piece of the African could appear more unfinished because result more damaged by the fire. Nevertheless, it recognized that the figures will not be able to have the original quality.

IN MY OPINION: as soon as they catch these 'nice' youngsters they could be used as ninots and being burned with the hole falla
