[Vicky82]

A 24 story block flat caught fire last night just before 1am and it spread very quickly. The fire still isn't out yet.

Not sure what started the fire but they think it happened on 4th floor

Up to 600 people live in the tower block. 74 people are injured, 6 Confirmed dead but that is expected to rise.

When the fire was first reported, people were told to stay in there flats but the fire spread very quickly leaving them trapped.

Apparently people who lived there, complained it was fire risk. It had recently had a refurbishment, the walls were fitted with plastic cladding. Also there wasn't a sprinkler system.
