Last year Shane Ewen drew a wider conclusion from the Grenfell Inquiry & other incidents:

'Contrary to the popular mantra that fire doesn’t discriminate, the poor & disadvantaged in UK & other societies are disproportionately affected by fire because they are forced to live in unsafe or overcrowded housing'!

As so often, the poor & vulnerable live in situations & experience life in ways that make their position worse.... and harder to escape.
