Firefighting tactics are in focus at the inquiry into the Grenfell Tower fire, Britain’s deadliest on domestic premises since World War Two, which killed 71 people inside the 24-storey social housing block on the night of June 14, 2017.
A fire safety expert and some survivors have suggested that more lives could have been saved if firefighters had attempted a total evacuation rather than advise people to stay in their flats while they tried to bring the fire under control.
