She added: “If the door to flat 101 had been shut the fire would have been very significantly contained until the fire brigade arrived.
“And I think it would have allowed all the occupants to have made good their escape.
“The fire brigade came quickly. The fire door was a good one and it would have kept the fire back.”
The inquest heard claims the tenant had complained about the door, but it had not been fixed.
She added: “The one thing that would have made the world of difference, other than the fire not being started in the first place, is if the door to flat 101 (where the fire broke out) had been closed.”
