Tomorrow marks six years since the Grenfell Tower fire in 2017. Last month, it was announced that the Public Inquiry’s second report would be delayed until 2024.

The Fire Brigades Union has said it will stand “shoulder to shoulder” with the Grenfell community to campaign for justice.

Speaking ahead of the anniversary, Matt Wrack, Fire Brigades Union general secretary, said:

“The Grenfell Fire was not inevitable – it was a crime caused by decades of deregulation, privatisation and the prioritisation of profit over safety. Six years on and the community is still waiting for answers. No one responsible has yet been held accountable.

“The Fire Brigades Union stands shoulder to shoulder with the bereaved, survivors and residents to demand justice and fight to ensure that this tragedy is never repeated.”
