An escape route in a tower became smoke-logged like a “broken chimney” during a fire after its ventilation system failed, a report has found.
A report into the blaze at New Providence Wharf by the London Fire Brigade (LFB) found that smoke detectors failed to operate its automatic fire vents and fire doors.
A member of David Cameron s family and a multi-millionaire Tory party donor are linked to firms which are yet to strip Grenfell-style cladding from high-rise buildings.
