Looks pretty serious with fire travelling up the outside of the block.

Let's hope it's not made from the same material as Grenfall

Each apartment appears to have a balcony and the fire is travelling from the balcony below to the balcony above. There doesn't seem to be a large surface area of cladding on the affected side but from the video it is impossible to tell what is happening on the inside of the building.

I do hope it's not happening again...

Seems like it is under control now. No news on casualties - hopefully everybody was out anyway or got out safely.

I see Grenfell most weekdays from work and it still haunts me.

I wonder how much longer it will stay up...it can't be doing anyone any good leaving it up.
