pviitane on May 23, 2026 7:31 pm That’s a bit odd. It started as balcony fire and not even on top floor. I wonder how the fire spread to the roof; is there a cladding similar to Grenfell Towers fire which allow fire to spread vertically?

Resident-Elephant500 on May 23, 2026 8:23 pm Yeah the fire has a open space to climb up between the brick outside wall and the insulation
