A large fire that engulfed a block of flats in east London has been brought under control with everyone accounted for, the London fire brigade (LFB) said, as attention turned to the role cladding played on a building with known fire safety problems.
Emergency services were called to the fire on Freshwater Road in Dagenham at 2.44am yesterday, and a major incident was declared.
More than 100 people were evacuated from the eight-storey building and two were taken to hospital.
By about 12.30pm the LFB said the fire was under control and the major incident had been stood down.
According to a planning application document, the building was undergoing remedial work to remove and replace "non-compliant cladding" on the fifth and sixth floors containing flats.
Questions about the role of cladding in the fire quickly emerged and the LFB said these would form part of its investigation.
