I am the London Fire Commissioner, i would like to make a statement on the Dagenham Fire on the 27th Of August 2024. Dagenham fire on the 27th Of August 202a. Really i would like to start by offering our sincerest sympathies to all those affected by the fire here in dagenham yesterday. Not only have they suffered the most dramatic experiences, but so many have lost their homes and their properties. It was very important for me to visit the scene today, not least to meet with our firefighters and other staff and residents, but also to thank the deputy Prime Minister for taking the time to come and listen to the stories of the firefighters who responded first on the night. I am immensely grateful to our crews and officers who operated in the most dangerous conditions you can imagine to rescue people and to bring the incident under control, despite being faced with a very certificate building failure. A full song to evacuation of the building was immediately carried out and a significant search and Rescue Operation took place, and very, very high risk circumstances for firefighters. Despite that challenge, the personal risk to their own lives, they helped evacuate more than 80 people, and most importantly carried out 20 biscuits. This included using fire escape heads, which provide 50 minutes of clean air in smoke filled environments, a very important change since the terrible fire at grenfell tower. The B Grade Control Officers are to commended. Brigade. They took 16 calls to the virus, including a number of charging via survival calls where they provided at advice to those colours camera and professionally using ourfire colours camera and professionally using our Fire Survival Guidance app which allows information to be exchanged in real time between control and the incident ground. I cannot thank them enough for there calmness, compassion and professionalism as this building began to fail. Obviously in respecting to the responding to the fire, we use new equipment such as drones and our Turntable Ladders to provide Incident Commanders with a Vantage Point to assess the scene and put water on top of this building. London fire brigade officers and members of our dedicated to Community Support team stand with the community and have been stationed at the best centre to support those residents alongside partners. We will be here for many days to ensure the site is left safe as it possibly can be. I have to take the opportunity to publicly thank our crews, control officers, fire safety officers and support staff who have worked so incredibly hard to resolve the incident and to ensure everybody was safe in the face of honest unbelievable challenge. We have commenced a full and detailed investigation into the cause of this fire, and we are working closely with Police Colleagues in doing so. However, as you can see, due to the extensive damage to the building, with parts of it being declared unsafe to access,itis of it being declared unsafe to access, it is difficult to make entry into the today that investigation. That means it is likely to be distracted and our fire safety officers and specialists are likely to be on scene for many days. We know there will undoubtably be concerns around potential fire safety issues and this investigation will be a priority for our offices over the coming weeks. If i perhaps may end where i started by saying the residents, as well as the wider local community, are in our thoughts today in the face of what they have lost in this terrible incident and you have my promise as London Fire Commissioner that we will continue to support them over the coming days, weeks and months ahead.

Hold them to account. I can imagine, because i have been in charge of many incidents, but the residents faced the worst night.

I would like to say thank| you to the fire service and to the councillors and the Emergency Services that put together and made sure everyone got out of the building safely, and to see the scenes here, and here the descriptions of what was a fireball in essence, when the fire brigade turned up is incredible that we were able to make sure everyone got out of there safely, and the council stepped in really quickly to ensure that people had Emergency Accommodation and are priority is to make sure people are safe and have somewhere to go and a roof over their heads at what is such a horrific set of circumstances. You have been horrific set of circumstances. You have been meeting horrific set of circumstances. You have been meeting some of the firefighters who were on duty in the early hours of yesterday, can you tell us a bit about what they have told you about their experiences. It is the selflessness in the way they instantly respond. You can have huge amounts of training, we have got lots of procedures in place but it falls on those individual firefighters who first responded to immediately assess the situation, put themselves in harms way and deliver Emergency Evacuation Procedures to ensure everybody gets out of the building safely, and i think you can see the firefighters here in london did a tremendousjob in making sure, one of them spoke about a 15 year old who was on their own and who he managed to get out of the building. It is incredible nobody was seriously injured or there was any fatalities, and some of that goes to the firefighters who responded on the scene in the early hours of a Bank Holiday Weekend and were able to
