Massive Dagenham fire under investigation for cladding role; 80 people evacuated.
A massive fire in Dagenham, east London, has led to an investigation into the role cladding played in the blaze, according to the London Fire Brigade. The building, which had known fire safety issues, was undergoing remedial work to remove and replace non-compliant cladding on the fifth and sixth floors containing flats. Over 80 people were evacuated, and the Fire Brigades Union has called the incident a "national scandal" of flammable cladding and deregulation in the building industry.
