Flame-Resistant Type: Grenfell Tower and Wednesday Spread

flame-resistant type: British media have reported that contractors installed a cheaper, less flame-resistant type of exterior paneling on the 24-story tower in a renovation that was completed just last year, according to CTV. Police Commander Stuart Cundy said the number of 58 is based on reports from the public and may rise. Public anger is mounting as residents and neighbours demand answers for how the blaze early Wednesday spread so quickly and trapped so many of the tower's 600-odd residents. It includes 30 deaths that already have been confirmed, and reports of people who are missing and presumed to have been killed. Sadly, at this time there are 58 people who we have been told were in the Grenfell Tower on the night that are missing. He says it will take weeks or longer to recover and identify all the dead at the building. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
