Flames shot from windows all the way up the 24-story Grenfell Tower in North Kensington as more than 200 firefighters battled the blaze. Photo: AFPLondon: A deadly night-time fire raced through a 24-story apartment tower in London early Wednesday, killing at least six people and injuring dozens more. “A lot of people said ‘help, help, help.’ The fire brigade could only help downstairs. Grenfell Tower was recently upgraded at a cost of £8.6 million ($11 million), with work finishing in May 2016. The Grenfell Action Group, a community organization formed to oppose a nearby redevelopment project, has been warning about the risk of fire at Grenfell Tower since 2013.
