Families of those who died in the fire at Grenfell Tower hope the 'landmark report' prompts widescale change
A firefighter involved in tackling the Grenfell Tower blaze said there were a 'cataclysmic series of failings' in the building. Ricky Nuttall, who was forced to abandon an attempt to rescue a resident from the 15th floor, defended the 'stay put' advice initially given to people in the building, saying firefighters were unaware of the state of the tower.
'At the time, as a firefighter on the ground, we had no idea that the building wasn't built as it should be, that areas were compromised, that fire doors weren't fitted, that smoke vents wouldn't open, that the outside of the building was effectively covered in petrol, a flammable material that's going to burn rapidly, window sills weren't fitted correctly.
