Responding to evidence given to the Grenfell Tower Inquiry today (18 June) by Dr Barbara Lane, Fire Brigades Union (FBU) general secretary Matt Wrack said:
“Dr Lane explained how the principles of fire protection work in high rise residential buildings and how the stay put policy arises from the design and construction of buildings. Dr Lane also revealed a host of failings in what was done at Grenfell Tower, including the use of combustible cladding and faulty fire doors. In our view, this inevitably put firefighters in an impossible position on the night."
