Cydney Parker, 26, also said the fire alarms in the building had gone off for 'no reason' many times but when the residents needed them 'they didn't go off'.
A young mother who tried to flee a raging fire at her block of flats has told Sky News the fire alarms failed to go off and that an escape route gate was padlocked. Cydney Parker, 26, described how she ran for her life while still in her pyjamas when a fire broke out at the Spectrum building in Dagenham in east London in the early hours of Monday morning. 'I've looked outside and seen loads of fire engines pull up….
Multiple residents complained that no fire alarms had sounded during the emergency. 'No alarms went off,' Mrs Parker said. 'They have gone off so many times for no reason and the time we need them to go off they didn't go off. 'That block needs to get shut down and we all need to get housed - I hope they are all as angry as me.
