Hats off to the London emergency services for their efforts, in particular the London Fire Brigade B.A crews who entered that inferno to save lives.
Those were arduous conditions to work in and the efforts of those B.A crews is absolutely phenomenal, it was such a ferocious fire that for many people there was no way out, and for the Fire Fighters there was no easy way in.

It is so sad, that even with the best efforts and intentions of the emergency services it was impossible to rescue many of those souls seen at the windows, the fire developed so fast that there was just no way in the world those people could have been saved. It is truly horrendous and my thoughts go out to all those affected by this tragedy.
