Firefighters had put out the initial fridge fire at Grenfell Tower and were leaving the building when the blaze suddenly flared up, it has emerged. Crews believed they had put out the fire at the London high-rise and were astonished to see flames rising up the side of the building, new reports have claimed. Shortly after dealing with the fridge fire early last Wednesday, firefighters were telling residents that it was out, BBC Panorama reported.

So it looks like firefighters got the original refrigerator started fire out in the apartment but the fire was burning outside in the cladding where they couldn't see it from the inside. The cladding is what carried it floor to floor.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Thanks. That's what it looks like. If that fire was in the space between the building and the cladding, by the time it had burned through to the outside, who knows how far up the building it had already spread.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Journalist seeks to dispel the conspiratorial and cover-up views expressed by some and is successful doing so imo. I can see why people would be suspicious.
