82 Rashida Ali, Hoang Khanh Quang, and Sid Ali Atmani

Three witnesses who escaped the tower within 45 minutes of the first 999 call

The inquiry heard from three witnesses today. They all escaped the tower within forty-five minutes of the first 999 call being made.

Rashida Ali left her flat on the 15th floor with her daughter. Her husband Sid Ali Atmani was unwell and chose to stay in bed when his family left. He told the Inquiry how he made the decision to leave the flat when he realised the severity of the fire.

Hoang Khanh Quang lived on the 10th floor. She was woken up by the sound of the fire alarm to find flames at her kitchen window.
