Good that the Grenfell enquiry may lead to a change in the "in case of
fire, stay put" advice to people in tower blocks.

For Grenfell, as designed and built, that was the correct advice.
Each flat had a 60 minute fire resistance. The orginal fire was
extinguished within the single flat well within 60 minutes.

The problem was that some **** had wrapped the building in highly
flamable plastic, aluminium and insulation that the small flat fire
ignigted.

The problem (with the Fire brigade's command and control) was that they
didn't change the advice to the residents when it was clear that the fire
wasn't being contained in one flat.

But it's far tome clear that they had any way of communicating that changed
advice to those in the building once it made sense to change that.
