It is always really interesting when a system like that fails, and Im curious to see what they come up with as an explanation for why.
The siren system was just not used, I didn't see any reports that it failed.
Already days ago right after the fire, it was reported the fire services communicated to the public they had the fire under control. So it makes sense to not use the emergency siren system in such a case. But then suddenly - according to media and fire fighter reports - the fire started spreading super fast and it was no longer under control. But then it was too late for many.
