Grenfell Tower Fire

"A total of 58 people are dead or missing, presumed dead, following the devastating fire at Grenfell Tower in west London, police have said.



Commander Stuart Cundy said that number "may increase". The BBC understands it could be about 70 people in total."


What can we learn and improve from the above tragedy?

  • It does reflect upon the way fire safety is assessed and regulated in a cost driven scenario. It seems that 'common sense' fire safety doesn't apply. No sprinkler system, apparently no fire alarm, a single stairwell and no fire escape, combustible materials used in the construction. It is interesting that the shell of the building hasn't crumbled in the intense fire.
