Grenfell Tower report – what we know about the first official inquiry into the fire in 2017
THE Grenfell Tower Fire inquiry report was released today, with survivors calling for the head of London Fire Brigade to stand down.
The report revealed that some of the 72 people who died in the fire could have been saved if the building was evacuated sooner. Here's what we know so far. 
The first official report into the Grenfell Tower fire will say that more people could have been saved
What has the inquiry report said about the fire?
The first official public inquiry into the 2017 fire that killed 72 people found that few people may have died if key decisions had been made earlier, and made a number of recommendations following the two-year investigation into how the West London tower block went up in flames.
Inquiry chairman Sir Martin Moore-Bick said the "principal" reason the flames spread at such alarming rate was the combustible aluminium material (ACM) cladding, which acted as a "source of fuel".
Those panels were added to the tower block before the fire.
The report concluded the fire started because of an "electrical fault in a large fridge-freezer" in a flat on the fourth floor.
Sir Martin said Behailu Kebede, who had lived in the flat, has no blame in the fire.
The judge said because there was "compelling evidence" the external walls did not meet regulations, he wasn't going to investigate whether the building also met regulations.
He said the external walls "actively promoted" the spread of the fire.
What has the inquiry report said about the fire brigade?
The report identified "systemic" failures by the London Fire Brigade (LFB).
Sir Martin criticised the LFB for its "stay put" strategy when residents were told to stay in their flats by 999 operators and firefighters for nearly two hours.
The fire broke out just before 1am and the strategy was abandoned at 2.47am.
Sir Martin said: "That decision could and should have been made between 1.30am and 1.50am and would be likely to have resulted in fewer fatalities.
"The best part of an hour was lost before Assistant Commissioner Roe revoked the 'stay put' advice."
He added: "I identify a number of serious shortcomings in the response of the LFB, both in the operation of the control room and on the incident ground.
"It is right to recognise that those shortcomings were for the most part systemic in nature."
Sir Martin said the fire brigade's planning was "gravely inadequate".
He also accused the brigade's commissioner Dany Cotton of "remarkable insensitivity" after she gave evidence saying she wouldn't change anything about the fire service's response that night.
He said: "Quite apart from its remarkable insensitivity to the families of the deceased and to those who escaped from their burning homes with their lives, the Commissioner's evidence that she would not change anything about the response of the LFB on the night, even with the benefit of hindsight, only serves to demonstrate that the LFB is an institution at risk of not learning the lessons of the Grenfell Tower fire."
He added Ms Cotton's evidence "betrayed an unwillingness to confront the fact that by 2017 the LFB knew (even if she personally did not) that there was a more than negligible risk of a serious fire in a high rise building with a cladding system".
A London Fire Brigade spokesperson said: "The Inquiry's findings are not being published until Wednesday morning and it would be inappropriate for us to comment on them until then."
An inquiry spokeswoman said the chairman and his team were "dismayed and disappointed" the conclusions had been leaked ahead of official publication.
When will the second phase of the inquiry take place?
The next phase of the Grenfell Tower Fire inquiry is due to take place in the new year.
The first inquiry is due to be published on October 30.

When was the Grenfell Tower Fire?
Kensington and Chelsea London borough council built Grenfell Tower in 1974.
In May 2017, an £8.6million refurbishment was completed by Rydon Construction, as part of a wider transformation of the estate.
Work included new exterior cladding, replacement windows and a communal heating system.
The fire broke out at Behailu Kebede's fourth floor flat.
A public inquiry heard he was woken by his smoke alarm on June 14, 2017 immediately calling 999, alerted his flatmates and neighbours as soon as he saw smoke.
Mr Kebede left his home with no shoes, keys or wallet - not clutching his hastily assembled belongings as was reported at the time.
