GRENFELL Tower’s building managers adopted a “stay put” fire policy for convenience rather than safety, a survivor told the inquiry into the disaster today.
Edward Daffarn said he had repeatedly tried to get more clarity on what safety procedures were in place before the fire that destroyed the west London block of flats in June 2017.
Mr Daffarn, who founded Grenfell Action Group in frustration at the building managers’ failure to engage with residents, said he had been growing increasingly worried about the “stay put” plan.
He said he was concerned that there was no plan for evacuation in the event of a large-scale fire or explosion at the tower.
