The final report of the Grenfell Tower fire public inquiry

The second report of The Grenfell Tower Inquiry published on 4th September 2024 is a final report into the circumstances leading up to and surrounding the fire at Grenfell Tower in the early hours of 14 June 2017.

The publication of the Phase 2 report marks the end of a process that began on 15 June 2017 when then Prime Minister Theresa May announced a public inquiry to examine the disaster with a view to ensuring that a similar disaster could never occur again. The fire at Grenfell Tower was the worst residential fire in the UK since the
Second World War and resulted in the deaths of 72 people.

The Phase 1 report was published on 30 October 2019 and focused on the events of 14 June 2017: how the fire started, how it escaped from the flat where it had begun and how it spread over the whole building with tragic consequences.

Phase 2 of the Inquiry examined the underlying causes of the fire to identify where mistakes were made and how Grenfell Tower came to be in a condition which allowed the fire to spread in the way identified by Phase 1. It also investigated the response of the authorities to the emergency.
