Grenfell Tower Fire: Benign neglect and the road to an avoidable tragedy by Mark

Description: Grenfell Tower Fire: Benign neglect and the road to an avoidable tragedy by Mark Taylor, Tony Prosser An in-depth review of the world of fire over the last half-decade and how the tragedy of Grenfell Tower has its roots in decisions made in the 1980s. The book will be a must for anyone interested in the history and development of the fire service and the fire industry, and why disparate decisions made in isolation linked together on June 2017. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Making sense of the worst fire in the UK since 1945 can seem like an impossible task given the confusion observed in the media and in the courts since the fire. Tony Prosser and Mark Taylor together have nearly 80 years of experience in the fire and rescue service and bring an insiders perspective to the challenges faced by firefighters on the night, and the reasons why such an event was allowed to occur. They consider how a fire safety regime which was one of the most sophisticated in the world failed to prevent 72 residents in a modern building from dying. They consider how legislation has changed, why firefighters are now marginalised by Government despite having reduced fire deaths in the home by nearly 50% in 15 years.
