Re: Huge Fire in block of Flats London

I just came here to see if anyone else was seeing this. I'm watching it live now
That's a total loss of the one building. Was it a complex? The other 2 buildings near it look the exact same. Or is that just the style of building?

Re: Huge Fire in block of Flats London

Grenfell Action Group said its warnings about safety fell on "deaf ears".
In its blog post dated from November 2016, the group warned "only a catastrophic event" would expose the issues residents had with the building - including its one entry and exit and concerns about evacuation procedures.

Re: Huge Fire in block of Flats London

One entry, one exit and NO integrated fire alarm system? In a building containing 120 flats? Maaany questions need to be answered...

In a July 2014 Grenfell Tower regeneration newsletter, KCTMO wrote:

Emergency fire arrangements
Our longstanding 'stay put' policy stays in force until you are told otherwise. This means that (unless there is a fire in your flat or in the hallway outside your flat) you should stay inside your flat. This is because Grenfell was designed according to rigorous fire safety standards. Also, the new front doors for each flat can withstand a fire for up to 30 minutes, which gives plenty of time for the fire brigade to arrive.
Rigorous fire safety standards my ass, that was a fucking deadly trap, I wonder how many other buildings have been built according according to the very same safety standards...

Re: Huge Fire in block of Flats London

If it turns out it wasn't terrorism, no doubt, it will be something due to some dumb ass muslim doing something wrong. One of the camel fuckers using their bath tub as a fireplace or some shit like that. Fucking ridiculous.

Re: Huge Fire in block of Flats London

Similar happened several years ago. In both cases residents were told to stay put and not leave.

Re: Huge Fire in block of Flats London

It was only in November last year that residents had raised concerns over the saftey of the building.

https://grenfellactiongroup.wordpres...ing-with-fire/

The Grenfell Action Group predict that it won’t be long before the words of this blog come back to haunt the KCTMO management and we will do everything in our power to ensure that those in authority know how long and how appallingly our landlord has ignored their responsibility to ensure the heath and safety of their tenants and leaseholders. They can’t say that they haven’t been warned!
