Grenfell Tower fire
The Grenfell Tower fire occurred on June 14, 2017, in a high-rise residential building in North Kensington, London. The fire started 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 the tragic loss of 72 lives and left many others injured.
In the aftermath, the fire raised significant concerns about fire safety regulations and building materials used in high-rise structures. Investigations revealed failures in safety protocols and led to widespread calls for reforms in fire safety legislation across the United Kingdom.
