London Fire Brigade Commissioner Andy Roe stated that the stay put advice for Grenfell Tower residents was tragically flawed, as it delayed evacuations amid a rapidly spreading fire.
Roe emphasized that the policy of staying in place relies on proper building construction standards, which Grenfell Tower lacked due to combustible cladding that exacerbated the fire's spread.
He expressed horror upon arriving at the scene and witnessing the fire engulfing the building, noting that immediate evacuation could have saved lives.
The inquiry has made it clear that timely evacuation orders could have potentially saved many lives during the tragic Grenfell Tower fire incident.
