Sounds like some people might be trapped.

Apparently a residents group warned the council something like this could happen.

Absolutely terrible. There are people still alive and trapped in their flats. How this can happen in this day and age with all the H and S legislation I do not know.
The cladding seems to have gone up very easily plus it seems the fire hoses cannot get high enough up the building.
God help the poor people trapped and the brave emergency services trying to rescue them. You feel so helpless just watching it.
A very sad harrowing day :-(

The fire commissioner Dany Cotton has just confirmed a number of fatalities.
RIP .
A horrendous situation. The shock the survivors must be feeling.
Tremendous efforts from the emergency services.

Apparently they've just spent £10m doing the place up, including the cladding.

Lots of questions to be answered in this one you feel.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

Horrific. Looked like World Trade Centre at times. Can't help but think there will be a blame game between the fire service and the owners. Now isn't the time and place for that, obviously. Very sad news on top of recent events in the country

If I lived in one of the other blocks of flats, I'd be making alternative arrangements until the outcome of any investigation is produced.

Ever since my son was... never conceived, because I've never had consensual sex without money involved... I've always kind of looked at you as... a thing, that I could live next to... in accordance with state laws.

I can imagine. Given the early morning timing and people being in bed and the speed it spread, I'm afraid there isn't much hope for most of them in there. Terrible.

One of my mates in the LFB is on his way there later today. I don't envy his task.

Listening to the residents on BBC news, they are all saying that no fire alarms were heard and that it apparently started from a fridge exploding.

Too early to speculate but one survivor said work had been done on gas pipes, plus another survivor mentioned an odd smell.
It's bloody horrible to see the blackness of that tower.

Also the cosmetic plastic cladding recently put on the outside of the building seems to have exasperated the fire into spreading so quickly.


A lot of questions need to be asked over this.

Some harrowing stories coming out of trapped adults and children .

Its an absolute nightmare, one woman has just said told that when the fire was relatively small - residents were told to remain in their flats/apartments and then it just spread rapidly.

The is a school next to it covered in the same plastic cladding.

No training can prepare you for that devastation, both physically or mentally. A noble profession, one I will be honest I don't think I could do.

Horrible scenes, you can only hope the casualties are minimal, also the damage to both memories due to property damaged, and mental scars from the event will always linger for those too. So many families devastated by this.
