The smoke ventilation system at Grenfell Tower was reported to have failed eight days before the fatal blaze claimed 71 lives, but a proposal to fix it for £1,800 was ignored, the public inquiry has heard.
The failure of the ventilation system, designed to extract smoke from lobbies outside flats in the event of a fire, has been identified by experts as a factor in the escape routes from the building filling with thick black smoke that may have prevented evacuation and rescue. However, the system was not designed to clear smoke from multiple floors at once.
