Fire engulfs London tower block, at least 12 dead, dozens injured
LONDON, Jun 14 (Reuters) A blaze engulfed a 24-storey housing block in central London today, trapping residents as they slept and killing at least 12 people in an inferno that the fire brigade said was unprecedented in its scale and speed.
More than 200 firefighters, backed up by 40 fire engines, fought for hours to try to control the blaze, London's deadliest for a generation. The Grenfell Tower apartment block was home to about 600 people.
