Re: Would you stay ?
Whilst I can understand the concerns of flat dwellers, particularly after yesterday's events, we have to put this all in perspective. There are probably thousands of fires every year in flats but they are never on the news because they are contained within the flat. Flats are constructed with concrete floors, masonry walls and as many non flammable materials as possible to prevent any spread of fire and, as Purwell rightly points out, any break between floors for services are, or at least should be, fire stopped. The safest place then under normal circumstances is is to remain within your own flat, for under normal circumstances other residents probably wouldn't even know that a fire had occured elsewhere in the block until after the event.Re: Would you stay ?

When I lived in a highrise (7th floor) I decided if I needed to get myself and two toddlers out in a hurry I'd have to lower them down to the next balcony, then myself and work our way down like that.Re: Would you stay ?
