Extraordinary. The fire chief in charge of fighting the Grenfell inferno says she wouldn't change the fire brigade’s response - despite the fact that the deadly cladding meant that the standard “Stay Put” policy needlessly cost dozens of lives that night.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-45666960# …

It was a building regulation design "policy" of compartmentalisation... nobody in their right mind would expect LFB to predict the scenario that unfolded that night.

The point at which established best practice is visibly costing lives is generally the point where those bound by it, tear up the rulebook. By adapting to the situation, firefighters probably saved lives. It is cynical and opportunistic to suggest they're at fault.

I dont know how this all works im just telling you what the technical expert bought into the inquiry said after you claim the fire safety experts effectively blamed the FB for some deaths. People were killed by unsafe cladding not the response of the firefighters or fire chiefs.

I think this is too complicated for Julia.

Because they finally realised something TOTALLY unforeseen & unheard of in the UK, under UK building Regs, was happening in front of them & total destruction of the building was inevitable. If, having realised that was the case, they had stuck rigidly to policy they would quite>

>rightly have been criticised - condemned - for leaving people to die "because it was policy". And you would undoubtedly have been at head of pack of critics. (You could, if you wished, criticise senior officers for not realising, & changing to evacuation sooner if anything!)

Stay put would have made absolute sense if some grasping fucker hadn’t covered the building in cheap flammable cladding. Is that simple enough for you?

They did it at that point when they realised abandoning the policy was the only way to carry on. I understand the need to find out what happened but everyone knows where the blame lies Anna it's not fire chiefs or the policy.

Buildings and premises have a stay put policy, or not, the Fire Service don't.

Do some research before you make a complete fool of yourself! You need to understand that the stay put policy isn’t set by the fire service you utter moron... the policy works if the cladding compartmentalisation doesn’t fail!

So they should have, but they shouldn’t have! Are you saying that abandoning the policy helped or hindered? Perhaps you should do as your political friends have done and hold your tongue.

You are so thick. They adapted to the new situation. Hard to do when it flouts sound policy but they had no choice. Being an apologist for crimmanial council officials is not a good look Julia. Your attitudes position must be as a result of the wolves that bought you up !

You really are wilfully stupid woman. The 'stay put' rule was in place as each flat was supposed to be self-contained, not allowing fire to spread. This was breached by cladding that didn't meet fire regs. The deaths were caused by Tory cuts & incompetence, not firefighters.
