Grenfell Tower fire inquiry finds decades of failure led to UK's deadliest blaze since World War II

The Grenfell Tower fire, which occurred on June 14, 2017, was a devastating blaze that resulted in the deaths of 72 people, including 18 children. The fire was sparked by an electrical fault in a refrigerator on the fourth floor of the 24-storey building in west London. A 1,700-page report by the public inquiry, led by retired judge Martin Moore-Bick, concluded that the deaths were "all avoidable" and that there were "decades of failure" by governments, institutions, and individuals that contributed to the tragedy.
