but the london fire brigade says it has changed procedures since the g re nfell tower changed proceduresd the london fire brigade have altered the automatic attendance if the call was to a fire ina attendance if the call was to a fire in a residential block of flats. so that there will now be an additional extra fire engine, and additional pumping appliance, and the high reach appliances. so there will be five fire engines on the high reach appliance. we welcome that, and we have worked with the london fire brigade to ensure that is provided. but across the country, if you close a fire station, it inevitably means that when a fire happens in that area, firefighters will be travelling from further away, and it will take longer to get to the incident. so that is why a response times are slower than they were 20 yea rs times are slower than they were 20 years ago. we have heard that the residents of this that have suffered immense trauma because they were caught up in something so completely appalling. but so were your colleagues, your members. what sort of support are they getting for the

a month after the horrifying events of the 14th of june, and a clearer picture of how the london fire brigades begun to emerge. last week, newsnight reported that the first high ladder, or aerial, arrived 31 minutes after the first fire engine. london has now changed its predetermined attendance, what it would automatically send to a high—rise fire, to include a high ladder as an interim measure. but how would other fire services have reacted to a similar fire in a high—rise building? we contacted every fire service in the country to ask what their predetermined attendance was to a fire in a tower block. we found that 70% of fire services would have sent an aerial ladder. this is before grenfell, remember, to any high—rise fire. however, nine fire services, including tyne & wear, leicestershire, kent, lancashire and cambridgeshire will not send aerial ladder in the first instance. the crux of the problem is this — the same fire in the same tower block elicits wildly different responses from fire services across the country. now, take this building behind me. it's a high—rise building in essex

the london fire brigade says it's modified procedures for attending high rise fires after the 6renfellvestigation by the bbc‘s newsnight programme has found that a high ladder engine didn't arrive until more than half an hour after the first fire crews were dispatched. dominic casciani has the story. disaster unfolding in the middle of the night. as the first firefighters battled the growing inferno inside 6renfell tower, they couldn't see what was happening outside. flames spreading from floor to floor, as cladding caught alight. bbc‘s newsnight has uncovered a series of apparent failings that hampered the emergency response — including a delay in sending this high ladder to the scene. london fire brigade eventually called in an even taller platform from neighbouring surrey, because the capital doesn't have its own. that fire, they could not turn it off. there's no way they had anything. and i don't know what time they brought the hydraulic crane or whatever they had, but these guys were outnumbered. records show london fire brigade sent teams from across the capital. they didn't disp

my promise is that the london fire service and the fire brigade get exactly what they need.s the disaster has raised are still a long way off. as you have just seen, tens of thousands of people taking part in the pride in london parade. celebrating lesbian, gay and transgender rights. celebrating lesbian, gay and tra nsgender rights. exactly celebrating lesbian, gay and transgender rights. exactly 50 years since the beginning of the formalisation of homosexuality in england and wales. —— decriminalisation. after another thriller the match the british and irish lions and the all blacks have drawn their series. the last game endedin drawn their series. the last game ended in a 15—15 draw in auckland. in six weeks the british and irish lions have transformed from no toa to a real threat. it was set hopers to a real threat. it was set the tone for a breathless first hour. the paste not always match with precision. that will come from beauden barrett, picking out his younger, taller brother, 6eordie to set up the opening school.

a london fire brigade spokesman told newsnight. .. uld have foreseen what happened at grenfell. but after the disaster, questions have to be asked about whether there should be a national minimum attendance to a high—rise fire. can it be right that your post code dictates what kind of a response of fire services will deliver? james clayton with that report. now, if you're interested to find out how your local fire service would immediately respond to a tower block fire, then you can do so on the bbc‘s website, where we've created an interactive map with all the data. we asked the london fire brigade for an interview tonight, as well as each of the other services whose plans don't include sending a high ladder automatically to a tower block fire, but nobody was available. i'm joined instead by matt wrack, the general secretary of the fbu. good evening to you. is there any sense in the position that says you don't need to send one? london fire brigade say, actually, we deal with these things internally and you assess the situation before

london fire brigade eventually called in an even taller platform from neighbouring surrey. they had anything. and i don't know what time they brought the hydraulic crane or whatever they had, but these guys were outnumbered. records show london fire brigade sent teams from across the capital, but didn't dispatch a 30—metre aerial platform from paddington until 1:19am, almost half an hour after the first mobilisation. that equipment would have reached higher than the floor where the fire began. by the time it arrived, the fire had raced up the exterior. i have spoken to aerial appliance operators in london who drive and operate the appliances and who attended that incident who think that having that on the first attendance might have made a difference. the london mayor, sadiq khan, spoke at the pride festival today, and said that nothing should detract from the bravery of the firefighters. but answers are needed. there's going to be a public enquiry and a police investigation. i'm not willing to wait for that, though. so i've asked the commission of the london fire service to

london fire service, to carry out an urgent review. the review will tell me what she needs, or the fire service needs, and my promise to her is that the fire brigadeers will be staggered to learn that there wasn't a default position to send out a high ladder in that kind of situation. the key thing is to reassure londoners that when there are fires in tower blocks, the way the fire service operators from within the tower and to reassure them, they have equipment to keep people safe when there is a fire in a tower block but 6renfell tower was unprecedented. all of us saw the speed of the fire spreading, and address concerns about the cladding and the fire doors, whether the fire engines to had blocked access issues. all of these things have been reported by london fire brigade. the key thing is to make sure londoners are reassured. in the meantime, i've asked them to look into what equipment they need and i've given them the promise that once they know what they need, we will let them have what they need. was this issue about deployment or the tape of kit that was available? was that something you are without prior to 6renfell tower? was it somethi

londoners safe or there is a fire in a tower block. the fire at 6runfeld tower was unprecedented. all those things are being looked into by the fire brigade and the fire service has given us that reassurance. i have asked them to look into what the women they need, and had promised them to make sure that they get what they need. was this issue of the type of kits available to the fire service, was that something you were aware of prior to the incident? did this, then talks, planning? no, it has not been raised with me before. i undertook a review to look into the issue, to see whether we were fit for purpose. bearing in mind the huge cuts that had been made to the fire service. an urgent review is taking place in relation to the tower. there are lessons can be learned. sadiq khan speaking a little earlier on. police and firefighters were called to the blaze in bolton at around 9am. a man managed to escape the terror —— terraced house. two boys and a grotto under the age of 13, and a woman, were still inside. 0ne grotto under the age of 13, and a woman, were still inside. one of the children was pronounced dead at the scene. the woman and
