From watching the news, the first engines got there within six minutes but access was the problem as opposed to the amount of fire fighters in attendance.Ask Boris fucking Johnson that **** shut 10 stations in London
Trying to hold back my anger before we know the full facts but yes you're right. These are some of the poorest people in the richest borough of London. Yet somehow the money couldn't be found to even test a fire extinguisher. I'm glad that post went up in November as it will make any whitewashing of the facts a lot more difficult and surely people will have to be held to serious account.Yeah, but only in the poor people's buildings, of course. That should be a manslaughter charge.

Let's try and keep politics out of this thread whilst the situation is on going. There will be ample opportunity afterwards when the inquest to this tragedy is held.
There was a guy on ITV before that said the main purpose of the cladding (£10m worth) was aesthetics.Trying to hold back my anger before we know the full facts but yes you're right.

They are about to clad my block in Blackley. Fucking hell.
We have no fire alarms in communal areas fuck all...never has been.
Yes, lets keep politics out of it please.Let's try and keep politics out of this thread whilst the situation is on going.

If so, then how can they find £10m for that but not enough for things like fire prevention and preparation?
It was an answer to how long the second pump took, got fuck all to do with anything else, cuts costs lives.Perhaps this would be the perfect occasion to remind us of your Fire Service pension grievances too...
Jesus I hope so...I was quite concerned about the cladding as it was.You might be lucky, the fallout from this should hopefully see a lot of blocks like your own get their fire safety taken seriously.
From the coverage it seems like a fire like this somewhere in the country was only a matter of time with the lax standards being kept.
You know what, if that's true it will be a miraculous outcome.Initial report saying 6 deaths confirmed.
Expected to rise, unfortunately.You know what, if that's true it will be a miraculous outcome.
They probably haven't even got to the top floors yet, but if it's only 6 it will be a miracle, I believe the brigade got to the 18th out of the 24 however looking at the fire that might have been up one side only doenst look like they could get up the other.You know what, if that's true it will be a miraculous outcome.

Ignore him, I got the pertinence of the point you raised and being in the fire service yourself gives us a bit more insight about how these events unfold.It was an answer to how long the second pump took, got fuck all to do with anything else, cuts costs lives.
Tip of the iceberg unfortunately, I would think. Absolutely sickening.You know what, if that's true it will be a miraculous outcome.
