          No, it had already been refurbished. Seems the cladding added to the outside of the building only served to fuel the fire

          Have read that, and the others. Awful. No doubt the management team have been creaming off the profits rather than listen to reason

          Cause is one thing (pls not another washing machine on recall). How it spread so fast is more concerning a question though.

          Quite worrying that one resident said fire services could not get through front door? Also they did not go in straight away-not until 3pm???

          It makes you ask with total horror what has gone wrong-H&S is something they hit us all over head with but seems totally missing here!

          I believe H&S actually kills more people than it saves! It takes common sense right of the equation!! Some poople are born with common sense

          Must agree with you-I just can't understand how so many mistakes could seemingly be made although building was erected in 70s-suspect time!

          Accident can't be helped but if it's a design fault, tumble drier again or even a bomb factory something needs to be done!

          Apparently one fire escape-plastic lagging-no sprinklers-no lights on stairs-thought Sadie Khan & his council were supposed to be on ball!

          I thought sprinklers & alarms were law after that tower block fire few years ago? I bet the block is owned by some offshore loophole company
