Grenfell fire: Only a miracle could have stopped inferno, says fire chief

The London Fire Commissioner defended the controversial advice for residents to stay put as the flames spread, insisting it was the right way to act in most cases.

Only a miracle would have stopped the inferno raging at Grenfell Tower, London's fire chief has said.

Firefighters did "the very best" they could on the night and many are suffering following the horrors they witnessed while tackling the blaze, Dany Cotton said.
