The London Fire Brigade confirmed they are investigating the role of non-compliant cladding in the fire incident that occurred at a multi-storey building in East London. This fire had serious implications, especially given the building's known safety issues and the ongoing remedial work to address these concerns. The inquiry comes just a week before crucial findings on the Grenfell Tower disaster, highlighting persistent issues in building regulations regarding safety.
The Fire Brigades Union has called this incident a ‚national scandal', emphasizing the dangerous implications of flammable cladding, which has been linked to numerous fire disasters in recent years. Their statement underscores the urgency for regulatory changes in the construction industry to prevent such incidents, shining a spotlight on the importance of reviewing existing building codes and ensuring compliance with safety regulations, particularly for high-rise residential buildings.
