This fire is horrendous, someone reportedly, said that their fridge exploded then within 50 minutes the whole block was on fire. The cladding or the insulation behind the cladding, is suspected to not have been fire retardant & there was only 1 fire exit for the whole tower block. Also the fire alarm did not go off.
RIP to all the victims & their families.

Cannot imagine the fear and terror those poor people are going through How on earth, in 2017, in one of the worlds main cities, can this happen? Is there no sprinkler system in the building, no fire escapes? So tragic.

The refurbishment of the tower block, which was signed off only in 2016, tragically did not include the installation of a sprinkler system. Apparently the refurbishment sounds as if it was mainly cosmetic, to make the external of the building more aesthetic appealing.

The misfortune falls again in England, it is tremendous to see the images, I can not even imagine the desperation of that moment.
Rest in peace the victims.

Great tragedy. As London mayor Sadiq Khan has said there are a lot of questions to answer.
Six confirmed dead but many missing and the final toll looks like it will be very much higher.

Yes, I read a similar report today, and that it was given a lick of, perhaps, flammable paint. Anyway, I guess it's not good of me to speculate. A terrible tragedy that looks like it could have been avoid if more fire safety precautions were put in place. As someone else said in this thread, seriously consider making a loose plan on how youll escape should a fire break out in your home during the dead of night. Such scary stuff to imagine. Thoughts and prayers with the victims.

Some people are sharing this picture on twitter, where it seems the policy in the event of a fire was to stay in your apartment. This is going to have implications up and down Britain and Ireland in relation to evacuation procedures and also materials used in all highrise buildings. Apparently the whole building was engulfed in flames within 20mins. Seems staggering.
