Anthony it does appear that the firefighters were satisfied to keep the occupiers in their flats rather than evacuating. In my experience with high, medium and low rise fires people are (or maybe given recent events, people were) more inquisitive than running for their lives. It was always a nightmare scenario to have the staircase full of people evacuating while trying to get in and put out the fire, it will take several years to get back to the point where we can confidently tell people to stay in their flats. The design is quite interesting with several flats opening onto the corridor and therefore directly onto the staircase, we are assuming this is a single stair but this isn't necessarily the case and the block is a few storeys given the later shots out of the window. A decent door (over 44mm?) but doesn't appear to be IS or SS fitted though its difficult to be certain as there is no clear view of the frame, the door may even be metal? The common areas were good and clean, also I'd imagine this is not one of the poorer areas given the condition of the flat and common areas. Hopefully as more video and drone footage emerges of real fires it will help inform the fire safety community.
