Tragedy

Yesterday evening saw one of the most tragic domestic fires in recent history, in Camberwell, SE London. A blaze in one flat in a large 12-storey block spread to other floors. Six people died, including 3 children, one a 3-week-old baby.

There were thoughts that it may have started in a communal area, maybe a staircase, but in a video that wouldn't post a fireman said it looked like it started in a 9th floor flat. Everyone's windows were open because the weather was so hot, and that helped the spread.; 8:13 pm

I've never liked the idea of living in a block, but I know for a lot of people there isn't a choice.It frightens me just how fast that fire spread...I guess we have to be thankful that they managed to rescue 30+ people.It could have been so much worse; 8:29 pm
