The fire in Dagenham early Monday morning has spotlighted fears among senior fire officials about the safety of buildings across London.

More than 80 people were evacuated from the block of flats in Chadwell Heath, with the London Fire Brigade reporting that two people were taken to hospital. Thankfully, all of the building's occupants have been accounted for.

But London Fire Commissioner Andy Roe said there were still 1,300 buildings in London with fire safety issues and that it was the responsibility of their owners to make sure their safety systems were functioning properly.
