A horrendous blaze struck the 27-storey building in West London early
this morning. The residential building situated at Grenfell Tower in
Latimer Road, White City,spread from the second floor to the roof of the
enormous 120-flat block, with 200 firefighters struggling to bring it
under control.
Several people are being treated for a ‘range of injuries’ including
illness from smoke inhalation. One neighbour said he believed someone
had jumped from the block.
Panicked residents trapped high in the enormous tower were heard
screaming for help as they leaned out of their windows and tied bed
sheets together in an attempt to reach the ground. DailyMail reports.
Flatowners in their pyjamas have been evacuated as police are pushing
people away from the area for fear the block will collapse due to
‘chunks’ of debris flying off from the tower.
