The Grenfell Tower Fire occurred on June 14, 2017, in a high-rise residential building in North Kensington, London. A fire broke out in a fourth-floor flat and quickly spread due to the building's exterior cladding, which was found to be highly flammable. The incident resulted in 72 fatalities and many injuries, making it one of the deadliest fires in recent UK history. In the aftermath, investigations revealed serious safety violations and failures in fire safety regulations. The tragedy prompted widespread public outcry and led to calls for reforms in building safety standards, particularly concerning the use of cladding materials in high-rise buildings.
