When they knock on the door for their money you put the £15 in their bra's, or in the 32" waist crotch area in the mankini scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 29491 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 That's a big fuck off fire in London. How did it spread so fast? I'd be amazed if everyone got out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Residents talking about gasworks. Visits from the fire brigade last weekend to say gas leak under control and not to leave apartments if there was a fire. Bangs that sounded like gunshots and no communal alarm system. Anyone asleep without batteries in their alarm had no chance. Think heads will roll here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeys Fist 41318 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 I've seen a few reports blaming the rapid spread on a recent external render. However it happened, it's horrific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawb 4069 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Refurbing high rise blocks is a big part of my job. Heads will definitely roll. from what I've heard it was a gas issue with poor fire stopping throughout the building meaning it spread fast, the fact the facade burnt is shocking as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 5127 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Surely if this is an incompetence issue it won't just be heads rolling, it'll be criminal negligence. Horrific news, I can't think of a much worse scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 13595 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 (edited) They're a lovely bunch. Though, I''m sure this all falls on the side of laziness rather than ill-intent i.e. it involved too much paperwork and arseache on a Friday at half 2 to get corrective action taken.

PaddockLad 16523 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 This aluminium cladding that apparently rapidly spread the fire....the local council, the trust who are the landlords and the local fire brigade will have all known about it. Just to say that the RN tried building ships decks out of a lightweight aluminium alloy but stopped immediately after the Falklands War when it was found to burn intensely and very quickly after taking enemy Exocets. HMS Coventry suffered hugely after it came under attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strawb 4069 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 That kind of cladding is usually a sandwich with 0.5m aluminium on either side of some "insulation". The insulation is usually fireproofed but depending on where you source it (China) it can be made from really combustible stuff too. All the highrises I have worked on have a similar stay put policy in place but they are useless when the fire isn't contained inside a certain compartmented area of the building, and since it spread up the outside in this case it breached all the compartmention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 6822 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 (edited) Claims that the death toll is likely to be 100+. Lots of chatter that various Tories are also implicated in ignoring fire recommendations on high rise flats and obviously having a hand in the massive fire service cuts Events like this shouldn't be politicised for point scoring but when a ruling party is clearly at blame then fingers need to be pointed. Can you imagine a Corbyn lead party ignoring those types of recommendations to save cash? Edited June 14, 2017 by Kid Dynamite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
