Today the Grenfell Inquiry Phase 2 report will be released, which will examine how the tower block came to be in a condition that allowed the fire to spread. Our hearts remain with the families and communities affected by this tragedy. We stand in solidarity with those seeking justice. Working in the fire protection game, we understand the critical importance of robust fire safety measures and the dire need for stronger legislation to prevent this from ever happening again. Hopefully, this report will drive meaningful change, ensuring that the memory of those lost leads to a safer future for all.

As the UK continues to lower standards in almost every area, fire safety is one area that just should not be dumbed down, but it has been. 2005 saw the big mistake of changing legislation for costs sake. Fire safety is so important and needs good legislation and effective enforcement, both are missing. The push for carbon neutral is destroyed when fires like this occur and all because the UK sees the bottom line more important. I despair.

The Grendel Tower fire disaster was a tragic example of how incompetence, greed, and dishonesty can have catastrophic consequences. Poor safety regulations, cost-cutting measures, and the use of substandard materials all stemmed from these root causes, prioritizing profit over human lives. The failure to listen to residents' warnings and the lack of accountability led to an unimaginable loss. This disaster is a sobering reminder of the importance of integrity and responsibility in construction and safety practices—lives depend on it. #Accountability #SafetyFirst #Grenfell https://lnkd.in/dvF2C9An
