It's just incredible that this isn't more common given how many blocks of this type there must be in total around the UK.
Someone commented on the news earlier that they had had previous fires in this block but they remained contained and were relatively easily extinguished but this was the first one since the new 'cladding' was installed. |

The Company that carried out cladding work reportedly went into administration
According to the industry publication Construction Enquirer, the company that carried out the cladding work on Grenfell Tower went into administration shortly after completing the work. Harley Curtain Wall carried out the Ł3m project in 2015. soruce: BBC |

I don't know if it was caused by the wind or what but on all the footage i saw on the telly earlier and also on those pics Arista posted up top you can see a really nasty intense burning 'inverted V' shape clearly. It was really prominent on the news footage. Does look like it could be where the wind/breeze is hitting the corner of the block possibly.

Thoughts to all those involved.
I did my fire probation only a few days ago because I work in a multi floor building and each department needs fire officers. One of the things that really surprised me was the amount of new battery fires (I always thought that was a scare story) we are having. We are now using more and more batteries and battery chargers...mobile phones, tablets, laptops and these new battery charged vacuum cleaners and this has significantly raised domestic house fires, especially at night when those batteries get put on charge. The fire officer warned us never to put a mobile on charge under your pillow because your creating a heat source. That's something I've done for years No doubt we will find the source of this fire in due time. Lets just hope that most of the residents got out.

i feel sad for all the people who have been trapped and perished in there dying in a fire, is i think the worst possible way to die

They are reporting that those on the top 3 floors will not have been able to survive I suppose a difficult thing is no one will know who was in their flats at the time

The story I just read of someone from the ninth or tenth floor throwing their baby to safety and someone on the ground being able to catch him/her safely... honestly astounding. I can't imagine ever thinking that's something you 'have to do' for their safety. Hope the mother is safe.
I saw this on the BBC and thought you should see it: London fire: Baby caught after being 'dropped to safety from tower' - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-40276194

Has arson been ruled out?
If not, could this have been an Islamic State inspired attack?
