London Fire Updates, Damages And Aftermath Of Grenfell Tower Inferno(Photos). by Explorers(m): 6:22pm On Jun 15, 2017 |
The Grenfell Tower housed about 600 people in 120 apartments. It has been reported that some 70 people are still missing after the fire. Residents who survived the tower blaze lost everything and have no idea where they are going to live or how they will get back on their feet. Behailu Kebede, a father of one, raised the alarm after flames took hold in his flat at number 16 on the fourth floor. Maryann Adam, 41, who lived at number 14, told how Mr Kebede banged on her front door in the early hours of Wednesday to tell her that there was a fire in his kitchen. She said: 'He knocked on the door, and he said there was a fire in his flat. It was exactly 12.50am because I was sleeping and it woke me up. 'The fire was small in the kitchen. I could see it because the flat door was open. There was no alarm.' http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4606078/Man-faulty-fridge-started-Grenfell-Tower-inferno.html

Undertakers remove bodies from Grenfell Tower yesterday. But the recovery of the dead is likely to take several more days

A drone inspects the top floors of the wrecked tower block, where residentson the highest storeys are all feared dead after being trapped in their homes and then engulfed. Firefighters are now combing their way through the skeleton of the building trying to piece together the chain of events and search for survivors.

Fireproof cladding that would have prevented Grenfell Tower tragedy 'would have cost just £5,000 extra' and the cheap version that was used is banned in America. Contractors that worked on the £8.6 million Grenfell Tower refurbishment could have spent just £5,000 more on fireproof cladding, it has been revealed. Hundreds of Reynobond aluminium coated panels - which are banned in the US over fire safety fears were fitted to the outside of the London high-rise last year. The building was covered in panels with a plastic core costing £22 per square metre just £2 cheaper than the fire-resistant version. The death toll continues to rise following the inferno which ripped through the tower on Wednesday morning, with over 20 people already confirmed dead and senior figures warning up to 100 could have perished. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4609334/Fireproof-cladding-Grenfell-cost-5k-more.html Lalasticlala, Mynd44

As news spread of the disaster, hundreds of volunteers descended on west London to give food, clothing and water to community centres caring for victims. Firefighters covered in dust and soot from the burning building are offered food and water by a volunteer near Grenfell Tower. People have travelled from all over London and beyond to donate food, drink and offer shelter to anyone who needed help. Queens Park Rangers Academy volunteers donate training kit to those who have lost the majority of their possessions in the fire. Evacuated residents spend the night at Westway Sports Centre on gymnastic mats. Generous members of the public have brought clothings and bedding to the centre for victims 1 Like

Families who escaped the flames were left to face the reality of their home and all of their belongings being destroyed in the fire, which started in the early hours of tuesday morning. Churches and community centres opened their doors to accommodate those rescued from the blazing building.

Kind-hearted locals have donated thousands of items to the families made homeless by the Tuesday night blaze. You always read about people coming together in a time of crisis, so much so that it’s become a bit of a cliche. But seeing this principle in action for the first time has made me understand what it really means. 3 Likes 2 Shares
