BBC etc not as yet reporting.

My heart sank when I saw this.

BBC now reporting it's all under control with no casualties.

Glad that is the case, of course any tower block fire now makes us fear the worst.

I used to work on that estate about thirty years ago and remember Gaydon House well.

Good. It sounds as if it has been brought under control quite rapidly.

Me and my mate were in Germany when the Grenfell fire broke out. The German news people were a lot less sensitive in their reporting than the British news people. The sight of those people jumping from the building will be with me forever.

I think I must have been burned as a witch in a previous life, I have an absolute horror of being burned alive. Quite irrational really, bar once, I've never been anywhere remotely in danger of burning to death.

Nothing irrational about being horrified at the prospect of being burned to death.
