Surfside mayor recommends residents of Champlain North Tower to evacuate.
Surfside Mayor Charles Burkett told CNN on Saturday that he has recommended residents of Champlain Towers’ North Tower to evacuate out of "an abundance of caution."
The Champlain North tower is located a block away from the South Tower, which collapsed Thursday.
"I've recommended that that building be evacuated pending a thorough structural investigation," Burkett said.
"Because I don't think people need to live with the possibility, or the thought that their" building may collapse, Burkett added.
"It had the same developer, it probably had the same materials, they probably had the same plans, and people are asking me is the building safe, and I can't tell them it is safe," Burkett said.
