Union boss rages over betrayal of heroic fire fighters who fought Grenfell blaze
Briefly

Wrack emphasized the need for change, stating, "The fact is that the fire at Grenfell would not have spread the same way if the building had been left in its original state. It was the modifications and cladding which caused the deaths and the report confirmed that." This highlights the critical role of building regulations and the consequences of neglecting safety measures that endanger lives during fires.
Addressing the reported issues, Wrack said, "When firefighters arrived at Grenfell, they expected a fire that would be contained in the building because that's what they had been told. Instead, it spread rapidly throughout the building and there was no plan to deal with it," pointing to a serious lapse in safety preparedness.
Expressing deep frustration, Wrack remarked, "I am furious that constant warnings about the cladding on Grenfell Tower had been ignored in the five years before the fire," underlining the repeated negligence experienced by firefighters and the public.
