The London Fire Brigade (LFB) has completed all 29 recommendations made to it by the first stage of the Grenfell Tower Inquiry, including the acquisition of the tallest turntable ladders in its history, standing at 64 meters. This achievement is part of a broader effort to address fire safety concerns, particularly those related to Grenfell-style cladding, which has been identified as a risk on 1,250 high-rise blocks across London. The Scottish Labour has called on the SNP government to accelerate efforts in tackling the issue of dangerous cladding. The LFB chief fire officer stated that these changes are "owed" to the bereaved and survivors of the Grenfell tragedy. The mayor of London has also expressed support for the LFB's transformation, highlighting the significant investment made by City Hall in new equipment and protocols to enhance the brigade's response to incidents.
