A tower block in east London caught fire in the early hours of bank holiday Monday. It was covered in "non-compliant cladding" and more than 80 people, including children, have been evacuated. Another 20 were rescued. The Mayor of London has urged people to avoid the area.
Fire was always my biggest concern when living in multi-family buildings. Can’t protect yourself from whatever your neighbors might get up to.
I once lived in a townhouse next to a family where they wouldn’t turn off the smoke alarm when cooking and would just let it keep going and going. And nobody would answer the door when this would happen, furthering my concerns. Had to call the fire department on them more than once. Thankfully, they moved out before too long.
Terrifying. I hope no one was badly injured.
