The final report from the Grenfell Tower inquiry is 3 weeks away.
In a new series we're going to set out what it's learnt - what created the conditions for a fire both foreseeable and preventable.

Video showing firefighters from @LondonFire rescuing people from flats in Whitechapel using ladders, the incident took place on the 7th of February 2024 and was caused by an e-bike which was in active thermal runaway with highly toxic, flammable and explosive vapours blocking escape routes.
The incident comes just days just after LFB announced they’d seen a 78% increase in fires caused by e-bikes and e-scooters in 2023 compared to 2022.
Incidents involving e-bikes and e-scooters are currently the fastest growing fire risk in London.
