79 dead London Grenfell Tower Inferno
APTheresa May orders public inquiry into Grenfell tower blaze.
It is believed that up to 600 people were in the 120 one- and two-bedroom flats of the block at the time of the fire. Sixty-five were rescued by firefighters.
79 people have died after the large fire that engulfed the 27-floor Grenfell Tower in London.
Forensic scientists will work to establish a point of origin for the devastating fire.
Today House of Lords are discussing the issues that need to be raised in the inquiry.
