Another near miss. All too frequent a sight in recent weeks.

The questions for me would be: what materials (insulation?) were present in the roof? And what went wrong with the compartmentation? A fire shouldn't be spreading all the way through https://twitter.com/LondonFire/status/1265869638690320385
This is going to be a long, hot summer and so many blocks around the country are unsafe. I'm very worried about seeing another disaster.
There are so many things we have not changed three years since Grenfell.

Personally, I find it particularly crazy that so many buildings still lack sprinklers and a proper evacuation strategy. We are an international outlier in this, and it isn't a difficult problem to fix.
