Hornsey residents have criticised their landlord after smoke vents did not open and alarms did not sound when a fire broke out in their apartment block.
The fire at Judd Apartments on April 15 started in the bin store, causing the first three floors of the building to fill with “thick smoke”, according to residents Alison Bancroft and Jo Greenyer.
Three fire engines attended at 9.15pm and the London Fire Brigade confirmed that there was smoke in the building. The fire was put out within 12 minutes from the time they were called.
