LONDON, ENGLAND
'The Cladding Scandal'
BBC journalist joins The NFPA Podcast for a conversation
on Grenfell four years later. By Angelo Verzoni
J
une 14 marked the
four-year anniversary of
the Grenfell Tower fire
in London, which killed
72 people. To mark the
occurrence, The NFPA
Podcast released a June 22 episode
featuring an interview with journalist
Kate Lamble, who for the past three
years has hosted a BBC podcast
on the Grenfell Tower Inquiry-the
official government inquiry into the
factors that led to the blaze.
In the 20-minute conversation,
Lamble discusses a range of topics,

from the troubling actions of the corporations
that sold the combustible
exterior wall components that were
wrapped around the 24-story apartment
building to the way the inquiry has
affected her emotionally.
Excerpts from the conversation with
Lamble are included below and have
been edited for clarity. Listen to the full
episode-and find a link to Lamble's BBC
podcast-at nfpa.org/podcasts.
THE GRENFELL TOWER INQUIRY IS
SPLIT UP INTO TWO PHASES, BOTH
OF WHICH END WITH THE RELEASE
OF A SET OF RECOMMENDATIONS.
WHERE ARE THEY AT NOW?
Phase one was in 2018. It was all
about what happened on the night
of the fire, how the fire spread, how
the fire brigade responded. Phase
two, which we're currently in, is all
about why it happened. So, how
combustible materials were installed
on the outside of the building, how
those materials were marketed, and
how the building manager monitored
safety over a number of years.
WHAT WERE SOME OF THE
RECOMMENDATIONS TO COME
OUT OF PHASE ONE?
The inquiry put out about 44 recommendations.
Everything from
more training for the fire service to
improving the way 999, which for
the US would be 911, calls are handled
to establishing new policies for
