Newham Council praises emergency services for quick action at the Scott Housing fire in Plaistow this morning

The London Fire Brigade have confirmed, following an investigation, the blaze was caused by a faulty lithium-ion battery.

The block’s containment structure – which prevents fire from spreading to neighbouring flats – worked well. Because of this structure the block operates within the national ‘stay put’ policy, which means fire alarms are not fitted in communal areas but have alarms in individual flats, encouraging residents to remain where it is safest for them to be, until helped to evacuate.
