The London Fire Brigade dispatched at least 40 fire engines, 20 ambulance crews and more than 200 firefighters in an effort to battle the conflagration, at the 24-story Grenfell Tower in West London. Authorities said they are monitoring the stability of the charred structure, but that firefighters have managed to search "most" of the building for remaining people. The Metropolitan Police Service confirmed the rising death toll at a press conference Wednesday night. "This is an unprecedented incident," London Fire Commissioner Dany Cotton told reporters. "In my 29 years of being a firefighter, I have never, ever seen anything of this scale." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
