Sad to have to say this again, but I hope all our UK members are safe and sound.

Hard to believe such a thing could happen in a building in a modern city.

Horrific, mate.

Fair play to all those offering spare rooms, clothes, food and toiletries in and around the nearby area to the Grenfell Block residents.

And to the emergency services too.

According to fleeing residents there was no building-wide alarm heard, no sprinklers, and a ‘stay put’ fire advice strategy in place.

Seems to be a lot of people missing/unaccounted for - unfortunately as the fire started just after 1am, many may have been asleep - I really hope not, though. Hopefully many escaped and are ‘just’ in shock or with friends/family etc.
