After the Grenfell Tower fire, we were told things would change. But this week a block of flats with flammable cladding and known fire safety failings was destroyed by fire in Dagenham. We need urgent action to tackle the fire safety crisis. Matt Wrack on BBC News yesterday

@MattWrack You have put up with this for years Matt, no one is listening now? You should have taken industrial action over this while the Tories were still in power two to three years ago! JUSTICE FOR GRENFELL???

@MattWrack The Hackitt Report sidestepped mandating two escape stairs in high-rises, opting for "flexibility" over clear safety rules—raising concerns it prioritised developers over public safety. This must change or more people will die in highrise fires.

@StoatlyL @MattWrack Presumably, the operational instruction to assume the fire safety designs were not compromised and people should stay rather than evacuate has changed? People were led put using hoods and apparatus.

Today, along with @UniLancs, we broke the news that 136 of the firefighters exposed to smoke at Grenfell are now suffering long term health disorders. We know that fire contaminants increase the risk of cancer and other diseases. Now we need action. Matt Wrack on BBC News

Shocking fire safety failures SIX years after Grenfell. Croydon flats go up in flames with combustible material, a “Stay Put” policy and no fire alarm. And like in 2017, Hallam Court residents had safety concerns before the fire. Rags Martel reports

Eric Pickles (now a Lord) was the minister in charge of fire safety before the Grenfell fire. When he appeared in front of the Grenfell inquiry he told them not to waste his time.

Proud to speak on the front bench about building safety today. It’s nearly seven years on from the Grenfell Fire, yet only 21% of high-rise blocks have been made fully safe and hundreds of thousands are still trapped in dangerous flammable flats.

In the years leading up to the Grenfell Tower fire, Westminster boasted of a 'bonfire' of building regulations. For decades, politicians have allowed corporate greed to turn safe homes into potential death traps. Deregulation costs lives. Matt Wrack on BBC Breakfast

'I want to do everything we can to get this cladding off buildings and hold those responsible to account' Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner spoke to #BBCBreakfast after the publication of the report into the Grenfell fire in which 72 people died blamed "dishonest" companies, failures by successive governments, and a lack of strategy by the fire service

A tent burned down on the ostrich farm, which was entirely predictable. As a person who has to understand fire safety and work with fire marshals to pull permits, no they have NOT been fire smart. People who don't follow public safety rules also don't follow fire safety rules.

We have received distress calls concerning a fire in Mathare’s Mlango Kubwa which has ravaged homes and small businesses, forcing many residents to flee for safety. We have been in touch with emergency teams on the ground who are working hard to contain the situation. Coming off the back of the early morning fire in Gikomba, this highlights the urgent need for a coordinated plan for fire safety, accessible emergency services, and dignified housing so that communities like Mathare are not left to face disaster alone time and again.

I am deeply saddened by the destruction at Adum market in Kumasi after Friday's fire. My heart goes out to the affected traders. I visited the market and commended the Fire Service for their efforts, but access remains a major challenge. We must prioritise better planning in our markets. This tragedy underscores the urgent need for improved fire safety. I've directed the Chief of Staff to work with the Ashanti Regional Minister and NADMO to assess losses and provide immediate relief. A major concern is the use of gas cylinders and cooking in markets. These practices are extremely dangerous. Our traders and shop owners must be educated and committed to fire safety to prevent future tragedies.

Some residents in an east London tower block have said they did not hear any alarms during a fire in which a man died on the 17th floor. They told BBC London they had been alerted by neighbours banging on their doors and telling them to leave the building during the early hours of Saturday. The man died in the flat fire at Neutron Tower in Poplar. Two adults and a child were rescued by firefighters wearing breathing apparatus, the London Fire Brigade (LFB) said. FirstPort, the building's management company, said "it would not be appropriate for us to speculate on specific matters" while the fire was under investigation. The LFB said: "There are a range of factors that are being investigated regarding the cause of the fire by the Brigade's Fire Investigation Team." More on this story ➡️ #London #LondonNews #Poplar

Nine years after the Grenfell Tower fire, the company whose flammable product covered the building has yet to face meaningful accountability. Today, we’re publishing a new report on Arconic, corporate malpractice, and the role of law. 🧵

Today we had a field fire, made much worse by dry conditions. With 30mm of rain since March, once the fire reached the standing crop, it spread incredibly quickly. Luckily we had fire extinguishers on board and the fire service was excellent.

Disturbing visuals from Mukherjee Nagar where a massive fire broke out in a coaching centre & students had to risk their lives to get out from windows Mr Kejriwal must answer : 1) you spend crores on fire safety of your own sheeshmahal but what about fire safety in these institutes? 2) Fire safety comes under Delhi govt & MCD is also run by AAP- when was the last fire safety audit done ? Are these places following fire safety protocols ? Are they paying bribes and bypassing rules ? Why no action? What are you waiting for ? 3) Why has fire safety budget been cut last year ? Have u spent that money on ads? 4) In 2022 there were 16500 fires and 82 people lost their lives! Who is responsible 5) Major fire incidents have caused huge damage in Delhi yet you are busy in 2024 politics and advertisements and corruption Shame on you AAP & Kejriwal
