Newsnight has learned a high ladder did not arrive for more than 30 minutes.

The London Fire Brigade says it has changed its procedures since the fire.

A high ladder will now automatically be sent to a fire in a tower.

An independent fire expert said having the high ladder, which is also known as an "aerial", available earlier would have given firefighters a better chance of stopping the fire when it jumped from a fourth floor flat in the tower block and began to race up the side of the building.

More than 200 firefighters and 40 fire engines were involved in battling the fire that engulfed the block in North Kensington, west London.

Varnado was driving a fully loaded water truck to the scene around 8:30 p.m. At the intersection of Mount Pisgah Road and Burch Road, the truck apparently ran off the road and tipped over, sliding several yards before striking an embankment, the Sheriff's Office said. The water tank apparently came loose and crashed into the truck cab, causing the death of Varnado, according to the release.
