Same thing as grenfell it's thr cladding supposed to be fire proof but its not the government need to stop this from happening
Made in China solar panels. Warranty for days.
Its actually Essex NOT London
Solar panel lithium power plants pop up in more buildings these days at the same time banning lithium bikes and scooters from the same buildings
It was about time to hear about a tragedy that was not cause by a refugee
Another tower block that hasn’t collapsed due to extreme fires 🔥 lol
So, work on the 'cladding' led to this — smells like the Grenfell Tower fiasco of seven years ago. And now there have been two tower fires in London in just a couple days. WTF is going on?
An unattended camp fire probably started it.
I wonder who thought this cladding on the outside of buildings was a good idea. You’d think they would have learnt with the Grenfell tower fire that claimed so many innocent victims….

Let's have a moment of silence for the 15 cannabis plants that got killed in the making of this video
I'm Sure The Countless Families In Rows Alongside This Blaze Felt A Shiver Of Fear Seeing This. It's Hard To Ignore Facts When They're Burning A Hole In Your Community.
The government only had 7yrs disgusting hope everyone is ok
Thoughts go to those affected, thanks to the brave fire fighters once again and big thanks too saw Salvation Army vehicle giving food refreshments to the brave firefighters and all 999 emergency workers. Think the Sally Army should get mentioned by media for what they do at these emergencies. They go unnoticed . public should see what they do, especially when we put money in their collection boxes.
Hope everyone is alright there?
I hope no one from the tower block or any firefighters got hurt from this huge blaze. After the Greenfield tower fire all cladding should have been removed by now to make it safer for everyone.
It appears to me that the fire started on the ground floor and spread upwards and outwards (sideways) through the cladding, and started by whoever! Perhaps (arson)! But I am not there to inspect, (retired senior officer).
That looks bad!
Last time they left everyone in and blamed Brexit.
Why are people talking about solar panels ?
They where removing flammable cladding… obviously THAT was the cause lol
Solar panels… what next ?
Electric cars ?
"Woke" ?
Ever since towering inferno movie 1974 fate has been tempted!
Do solar panels overheat?
My thoughts are with all affected. Building owners / landlords need to be fined heavily for their lack of action on the cladding and fire regulation failure. It's time they started taking responsibility for their lack of action. Not just for fire, but all other failures of response to issues, including mold etc.
Solar panelling? Or a generator gone up ?wow didnt noticevtge front .
Didn't the exact same thing happen a couple of years ago?
Religion of peace
Has abolutely nothing to do with this
Systematically anglophobic building going by the diversity of the residents.
Looking at the building…….would I be correct to say that was originally an office building that has been converted to flats?
