The question on the lips of everyone who watched the fire remain unanswered
1. Why did the house burn like American twin tower which was aided by jet fuel
2. What happened to water sprinkler that is in built in high rise buildings
3. What of smoke alarms and fire escapes
Experts have argued that the Grenfell tower in addition to many other houses in England was covered by a highly inflammable cladding material. The cladding material is banned in America and other developed countries because of its inflammable characteristics. They also claim that fire sprinkler and alarm were either non functional or non existent in that house and that residents actually complained that the house was not safe
It is a warning that many other vulnerable houses in the city of London will need to be upgraded to safe standard and the debate has already started about who will pay the bill
