My understanding is that the cladding was layered aluminum plates with plastic - flammable plastic
- or other flammable materials between the layers.

Plus as of this minute it still appears that there was no fire suppression system [sprinklers] in the building.

I live in a building with over 60 individual apartments
- not a high rise but still, roughly 100 people live here.

We have sprinklers in every room and even every closet
- I still dread the idea of a fire here.

I think London should talk to Boston or New York about their notoriously strict fire codes
- I don't think this kind of fire is as likely in those cities as it seems is likely in London..



Regulations save lives.

History should tell people about it:

Here's an interesting article on the history of large urban fires going back to the Roman Empire
and the many major fires that have occurred in London:

What Building and Fire Codes Tell Us

New York City:
As a general rule, all Group R occupancies in New York City
must be equipped with an automatic sprinkler system.

The system must cover all fire areas in the building,
and the requirement applies for any mixed occupancies
where Group R predominates.
There are only three types of residential buildings
where the NYC code makes automatic sprinkler systems optional:

• Detached one-family dwellings.
• Detached two-family dwellings.
• Townhouses, also known as multiple single-family dwellings.

Jackbp,
I debated it...but thought as you...it would only cause more confusion in the old goat and piss off the asylum nursing staff.

[caserio1]

perhaps you should try reading lessons

this time they might help

Please explain my comprehension deficit?
