Well that wasn't the issue. The issue was unsafe cladding and inadequate fire safety systems.
The fire should have been contained within the flat. Instead, the flammable cladding encasing exterior for "aesthetic reasons" went up like a wick and burnt the whole building into a shell.
Given the same conditions but larger apartments, the cladding could have still ignited and destroyed the whole building.
The insult to the tragedy was that the safer, non-flammable cladding cost more. It was a social (or housing association) building.
