  • My mate says he's been called to a few fires at that block, the new cladding, much like the stuff that was used on the tower blocks that caught fire in Dubai, seems to have been the accelerant...

  • What cladding was it? There's been a few blocks re-clad in Manchester in the last few years.

  • Some kind of insulator fronted by aluminium apparently.

  • I really don't know, matey has been a fireman in London for 30 years now and he keeps a pretty close eye on these kinds of things... Says the fire was a pretty routine call out and shouldn't have got out of control... Don't think it happened on his watch but he did post some pictures so he was obviously up there, he's been at Chelsea fire station for years so it's pretty much his patch...
