Witness said there was a smoke alarm but basically it was too faint to wake anybody up. It sounds like the other guy said, there wasn't an integrated system of smoke alarms so random ones were just going off in some areas.
It really becomes clear watching this that they slapped the flammable cladding on it as basically the only 'renovation'... and considering how hazardous the material is known to be, it sounds like they WANTED it to burn. It really does.
And all residents told to stay in place, those were the rules in 2016 when this work was done... that was really drilled into their heads.
2:23 on Saturday the fire brigade came around and checked alarms, etc. They briefed tenants on the protocol, rehashing that they were to put towels under the doors and stay inside.
But of course that's just coincidence.
