A woman who escaped a fire at a block of flats in east London, and who is being housed in a hotel, has said she fears becoming homeless next week.
More than 200 firefighters responded to the fire at a multi-storey building in Dagenham overnight on August 26. The building was undergoing “remedial” work to remove and replace “non-compliant cladding” on the fifth and sixth floors containing flats, according to a planning application document.
