At least 125 firefighters and 20 fire engines were called to a cladding fire in Wembley yesterday, 29 January.
Matt Wrack, Fire Brigades Union general secretary, said:
“Firefighters have once again been called to cladding fire which could have resulted in tragedy.
“The Fire Brigades Union warned of the risks of flammable cladding many years before the terrible Grenfell Tower fire. Decades of deregulation have created unnecessary risks to residents and firefighters, and put homes and lives at risk.
“Government ministers and building companies have been criminally complacent. We will continue to demand justice for the victims of this situation, and urgent action to ensure that buildings are safe.”
