Dave Hedgehog Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Multiple fatalities after the flammable exterior of a building goes up. Chillingly familiar to Summerland. I had always assumed construction like that was outlawed after 1973 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.K. Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Aunty interviewed an inmate so to speak. A truly horrific experience. However he also mentioned some maintenance work was being carried out on the gas installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Colombe Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 That is crazy, how can a modern concrete tower block go up like that? I know a few people who used to live on that estate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolley Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 That certainly should not be able to happen from a fire in a single flat. Some of the refurbishments that happen seem to compromise the safety features of the original build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a few people who used to live on that estate. Seems to be the external cladding installed in 2016 which has facilitated the spread of the fire.
