London fire toll rises to 30

London,  The death toll in the horrific fire that engulfed a 24-storey tower in west London rose to 30 today amid fears that it could climb to over 100 in one of the worst fire tragedies in the country.
Metropolitan police commander Stuart Cundy said, “We know that at least 30 people who have died. The bodies have been taken to a morgue, but more bodies remain in the building.”
“We always knew that the death toll would increase,” Cundy said, adding that there was nothing to suggest that the fire at the Grenfell Tower was started deliberately.
The investigation into the cause of the fire that has now been extinguished will take weeks, he added.
“Sadly, we do not expect there to be any survivors,” Cundy said.
Earlier today, Scotland Yard expressed fears that all victims of the massive fire may never be identified.
