Such a drastic difference to the recent London fire.
The blaze was relatively under control. Everyone appears to have got out safely..
And this is the second such fire in the same building.

The obvious factors are things like the dry air, and typical heat, over there. It's most certainly not being caused by decidedly dodgy cladding. (Although they do mention the previous fire being as a result of such a thing.. !!)
And no doubt, a cleanup will be swift and folk will be back in there in a matter of months.

Still a terrible thing, but I reckon they're much better equipped to get into everyone out, and get the thing sorted.

It does look like the cladding. They said last time that the only reason it wasn't as bad as Grenfell is because the tower has a string of fire safety measures in place, whereas Grenfell didn't even have fire doors, sprinkler systems, and just the one fire escape which was full of smoke and as good as cut off. By the time the tower's "stay in your flat" policy was exposed for the bollocks that it is, it was too late.
