Breaking: 27 Story London Tower Apartment Complex Ablaze As People Dangle On Sheets Outside Windows

I saw this: Grenfell Tower firefighters put out fridge blaze 'and were just leaving when flats erupted in flames'

Firefighters had put out the initial fridge fire at Grenfell Tower and were leaving the building when the blaze suddenly flared up, it has emerged.


Crews believed they had put out the fire at the London high-rise and were astonished to see flames rising up the side of the building, new reports have claimed.


Shortly after dealing with the fridge fire early last Wednesday, firefighters were telling residents that it was out, BBC Panorama reported.


But, soon after, the 24-storey building was consumed by flames in one of Britain's biggest ever tower block fires that left at least 79 people dead.


Panorama on Monday night reported that firefighters had seen flames "shooting up" the side of the building. Those reports will add weight to claims that it was the cladding on the exterior of Grenfell Tower that caused the fire to spread so rapidly.​

The more that comes out though about the fire, the inspections, residents who complained about hazards were threatened - it's damning

Hello, Between a defective refrigerator and an inflammable cladding the poor people were condemned to die in horrible suffering.

Thank you, Dalia. They are starting to mention manslaughter charges today. Heads are going to roll.

Tilly it can make a lot of responsible people. I think the mayor can be responsible if it is him who gives is approval here is like that in France.
The designers of the product and the owner, everyone will throw the ball as they say.

Hello Lucy, Tilly, Coyote and everyone.
One wonders how all this has not been analyzed more deeply? It is the safety of people who are at stake, it reminds me of the history of asbestos that was dangerous more buildings were manufactured with this product in the 1960s or 70s people died of cancer because of it. Now it's forbidden

I'm wondering that too...was all the cladding put up before it was recognized as dangerous? Asbestos wasn't recognized for the danger it is until pretty late in the game.

Yes it sounds like the Asbestos situation. I'm sure that those building companies didn't deliberately install that cladding knowing how dangerous it was, at least I hope they didn't.

I'm beginning to wonder if maybe there is no safe cladding, as the gap between it and the building acts like a chimney.

Interestingly, for all his inflammatory rhetoric (no nasty pun intended), Khan voted no for sprinkler systems to be installed retrospectively, and it was Labour in 2004 who took the contracts away from the fire service for responsibility for safety checking, and passed them over to landlords - to save money.
Khan also took money from building companies who sued authorities that were trying to institute landlord registration.
The buildings being evacuated now were refurbished under a Labour gvmnt and a Labour council around 2006.
So, I suspect the Left *might* quit politicising this issue now, but they are such raving hypocrites, who knows?

Now might be a good time to investigate how many of the residents in these blocks in Camden are 'lost' illegal immigrants and how many are illegally subletting, cramming tens of people into single apartments.

 

[Tilly]

Residents are reporting chaos, having had to leave their homes at 9-10 pm with few belongings and not knowing where they are supposed to go.

They don't even have water according to an elderly lady, and many of them only found out they were supposed to evacuate by watching Sky News at 9pm!

Seems to me it would have been a lot more reasonable to post fire wardens in and around the buildings for tonight.

And where are momentum and the socialist workers when you need them

Camden tower blocks’ fire safety concerns unheard for years, say residents

Residents say their calls for fire safety advice to improve at the Chalcots Estate in Swiss Cottage went unheard after a fire in the Taplow building in 2012. Picture: ANNA BEHRMANN

Serious concerns over safety measures raised following a fire at a high-rise tower block still remain to be addressed five years on, say residents.

As reported in the Ham&High, terrified families were forced to flee their homes on the Chalcots Estate in January 2012 after a fire broke out on the 17th floor of the Taplow building in Adelaide Road.

Following the blaze – believed to have started after a candle set papers alight – residents urged Camden Council to improve signs and make unclear advice on what to do in the event of a fire consistent.

According to the tenants’ handbooks, residents are advised to remain in their flats in the event of a fire.

However, signs in corridors tell people to “attack the fire if possible with the appliances provided” and to “leave the building”.

However, residents claim there are no fire extinguishers in the building and one sign seen by the Ham&High gives no details of a recommended escape route, number to call or assembly point...

Ignored for 5 yrs, given one hours notice at 9pm to evacuate. No doubt realising the disgraceful politicising they've been doing since Grenfell could come back to bite them.


...Last night the Chief Executive and I led a public meeting to listen to the concerns held by residents of the Chalcots estate. Upon hearing from residents the we immediately instructed a joint fire inspection with the London Fire Brigade.

The left one knows how they act hypocritical for the economies a lot of social low-priced.
I do not want to start a polemic, but this accident seems to me not clear.
A guilty fridge and cladding even more guilty and a those buildings have been in place since the 70's and they do not know anything from the past years about the risk of the cladding ? Now we evacuate all the buildings with the famous cladding it is a good thing not to take the risk that it reproduces, but could it be hiding anything else that has nothing to do with the security of the building?

This below happened on Saturday night, I wonder why it wasn't on the BBC World Service? A friend of mine he email me this below article last night Sunday and I'm posting it here in this thread now.

Here is the full article, contained within the article are two videos to watch, I think filmed by members of the public nearby the situation, they are very short in duration, the first video is five seconds and the second video is ten seconds.
