Fire chiefs call for tighter law

-

FIRE chiefs are calling for a law to force all new blocks of flats, no matter how high, to have sprinklers to avoid another Grenfell disaster.

A Government consultati­on on building rules, called after the Grenfell fire which kiled 72, ends in March.

The London Fire Brigade said developers are dodging installing them in low-rises.

LFB chief, Dany Cotton, said: “They’re not a luxury.”
