Eleven die in fire in Czech Republic tower block
The fire broke out on Saturday afternoon. Quote:
A death trap. The fire in Grenfell Tower (UK) came up quickly. Apparently according to the article, the police have arrested a man.

Terrible! I notice in the picture that the tower doesn't seem to have flammable "cladding" like Grenfell Tower did, so I wonder how the fire spread. Maybe the interior had too many wooden materials? That has been a factor in other high rise fires. Flammable furnishings can be lethal, even if the exterior of a building is concrete/brick.
I hope they change fire codes as a result (here in the US, it always takes tragedies for changes in code to be made - unfortunately).

It is precisely the case that in many cases "major accidents" are necessary before there is a change in a positive direction, unfortunately!
