When Chris Davis woke up at his apartment in Ladbroke Grove, northwest of London, at 2:43 a.m., Wednesday (June 14, 2017), he looked outside his window and saw this — fire raging and eating up the 24-storey Grenfell Tower in west London.
The fire reportedly started at around 1 a.m., with policemen receiving the first call at 00:54 am on Wednesday (2354 GMT Tuesday) and were on scene at the Grenfell Tower public housing complex within six minutes.
But witnesses reported the entire building was on fire by around 2:00 am (0100 GMT).
