Rgds, Thomas.

I remember a fire fighter friend (LFB) a few years back moaning about the ladders they now had were 2 level rather than 3 to account for the weight.... but even so I don't think the ladders would have made much difference to a 20+ storey tower block. Personally I think the lack of external fire escapes is rather poor.
