The survivors and the bereaved of the Grenfell Tower fire have welcomed a damning public inquiry report into the disaster that concludes there were “systemic failings” by the London fire brigade. But they said it was “heartbreaking” to read that more of their loved ones could have been saved if the building was evacuated earlier.
The long-delayed report into the blaze that claimed 72 lives was released on Wednesday morning by the inquiry chairman, Sir Martin Moore-Bick, and was branded “strong” by Grenfell United, which represents hundreds of members of the community affected by the 14 June 2017 disaster.
