A man whose wife and two children died in the fire that swept through a London tower block on Friday has criticised the emergency services for taking two and a half hours to reach his family.
Another resident has also claimed the fire brigade did not immediately use their ladders to reach those trapped in flats.
London fire brigade said a "unique situation" had caused "one of the most significant fires in some time" in a 1960s tower block in Camberwell, south London.
