Err, no it didn't.

A deadly combination of non-fireproof cladding plus
PIR insulation that was assumed to be fire-resistant
(but wasn't because the temperature exceeded its
limitations) plus poor detailed installation (vertical
'tunnels' at each corner and along the sides) plus
tenants who may have interfered with the fire door
entrances to their flat, plus possibly the ones
in communal spaces, all contributed to the inferno
by setting the inside of the building alight too.


I suspect that if rockwool insulation had been used,
and all internal fire doors were working, then
the fire would have been dramatic from outside but
stayed on the outside.
