Expecting people to stay inside a building where there's fire is a flawed approach - it's always safer outside.

As it turned out @team_greenhalgh was wrong, research evidence showed that people in wheelchairs that need an evacuation aid may not, in fact, be as slow to evacuate as people that are not in one but do have mobility issues that slow them down.

The most notable change is the number of fire stations that have closed since then.
Nothing has changed for tenants and residents in blocks of flats; still now, there's no #EvacuationStrategy for blocks of flats and no #PEEPs to get disabled people away from a fire in a block.

.@SHGroupUK and the fire engineers they pay do not factor in the smoke, horror and devastation that a fire causes, they don't even provide an #EvacuationStrategy or #PEEPs for residents.
The landlords carelessness and denial is typified by them calling this an 'external' fire.

"First, we demonstrate that evacuation models which assume residents will quickly (or even automatically) adhere to guidance to evacuate or stay put may be unrealistic."
